Disliked: Communication
The house was clean. But shortly after we arrived after a 10 hour drive we were hoping for some tranquility they started doing yard work near the house and mowing the lawn. The next day 4 strange guys started doing work in the garage around our vehicles and the house for a few hours. This was our second and last stay at this property. The host was rude in his response when I reached out prior to the review.

Response from VrboOwner on 4 May, 2026
This guest was completely rude about a guy mowing the lawn, i stopped there to check on him once. No one was there a few hours and in my ten years I’ve never had such a fragile guest about mowing the lawn. And to say weird looking guys…. What does that even mean? Please consider my other reviews from others. This guest is ridiculous.
