Kate L.

Liked: Cleanliness, location
Location is nice but the property is a bit beat up. Several rooms had holes in the wall and there was exposed wire coming from the ceiling in the bunk bed room. The listing has several inaccuracies (no live plants, even though there’s a two car garage they charge you for parking more than one car). The patio furniture is disintegrating. The check-in process was not smooth and I had to call to have the locks reset. There was also a lot of contact from the host to try to upsell add ons that occurred off the VRBO platform. The whole experience felt a bit scammy.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us, we truly appreciate your honesty We’re really glad you enjoyed the location, but we’re genuinely sorry to hear about the condition of the home and the issues you encountered during your stay 😕 this is absolutely not the standard we aim to deliver Concerns like wall damage, exposed wiring, patio furniture condition, and listing accuracy are taken very seriously, and we are already addressing these with our team to ensure everything is safe, updated, and aligned with what’s advertised Your feedback is incredibly valuable as it helps us improve both the home and the overall guest experience We’d truly appreciate the opportunity to host you again in the future & provide the seamless, 5-star stay we’re known for

Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy
Got a phone call and 13 emails outside of VRBO app. Had to ask host to only to contact thru VRBO and that still did not happen as didn’t respond if didn’t use cell number.As far as the house, no real plants whatsoever. The entire place reeked of cigarette smoke. Our family of 4 are non-smokers and everything we had at the house just for overnight had to be washed and aired out when got home.

Thank you for your feedback and for bringing this to our attention. We’re truly sorry to hear that parts of your experience didn’t meet expectations. We always aim to communicate with guests in the most convenient way possible, and we appreciate you letting us know that messaging through the VRBO app was your preference. We’ll review this with our team to make sure communication stays within the platform moving forward. Regarding the concern about smoke, we take this very seriously as the home is strictly non-smoking. If there was any lingering odor during your stay, that’s certainly not the experience we want our guests to have. We have already shared this with our team so they can inspect the property and ensure it is fully refreshed for future guests. We truly value guest feedback because it helps us improve the experience for everyone. We’re glad you chose to stay with us and appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.
