I want to preface this by saying the rating has nothing to do with the home itself. The house was very nice, clean, and accommodated our group of 14 well. Unfortunately, the hosting experience made it very difficult to actually relax and enjoy our vacation.We were a respectful group and made sure everyone knew and followed the house rules. However, we received a constant stream of texts from the host about things happening at the house. The doors, including the sliding glass doors, have sensors to ensure they stay closed. At times, the sliding doors would bounce back open slightly when closing them, and we would receive another message. We completely understand wanting doors closed, but these were clearly unintentional and the constant communication became extremely frustrating and took us out of vacation mode.We also felt very uncomfortable with how closely the property seemed to be monitored through the exterior and garage cameras. We understand cameras for safety and security, but the communication we received made us feel like we were being watched throughout our stay.We were not a rowdy or disrespectful group, we were simply there to enjoy a relaxing lake trip. Overall, it felt like we were expected to use the home exactly according to the owner’s personal preferences rather than being allowed to simply enjoy a vacation rental.
