Great property with a not so great upkeep

The mansion is gorgeous, located in a gorgeous spot by the river. It’s surrounded by farms and you can see/hear cows for a majority of time. Views from the ground and upper floors are pleasant (river, farmland, occasional fog and a horizontal rain due to high winds). Plenty of space and neatly decorated rooms. Almost everything indoors is in a working condition, except for a one shower cabin in the basement that has a drainage problem. Disappointing aspect of the place was a dryer situation. The website advertises as having washer/dryer. The washing machine has no dryer feature/or a separate dryer. We were advised by the manager to use the old fashioned dryer that is a standing cloth hanger, or use the dryer line outside. Due to the constant humidity and rain at the time, drying clothes outside was not an option. Plus, the outside drying line was in a bad shape, full of cobwebs and dirty. It’s not guests’ problem to clean cobwebs/dirt inside the mansion or around it. Cleanliness of the property was not in a good condition. Spiders and cobwebs on the windows inside, and on the ceilings. Pest control wasn’t existent. Lack of cleanliness and no electric dryer in the mansion are a disservice to the property and guests. Both gazebos were in a dirty/cobweb state, too. Still, property itself is beautiful and has a potential. There was an issue with the water heater, but the manager took care of it promptly. All in all, after fixing up flaws, the place is worth to stay at.

Response from VrboOwner on 9 Sept, 2024
We are glad you enjoyed your stay at the property. When you said the “not great up keep “ you mentioned 2 things only which were cobwebs and 1 of the 6 showers not draining. Why would you not mention this during the stay and a maintenance man would have called to unblock what was in the shower drain, this is the first we’ve heard of it , seems odd that you would leave it in a review rather than ask the owner to fix it during your stay as it’s now to late to do it for you , very odd. However we will now send someone to look at it.
