Response from VrboOwner on 17 Oct, 2025
Thank you so much Beth! We did JUST replace the carpets prior to your arrival, and cleaned the carpets on the main floors, my apologies that the scent was too strong! We have since brought over a new coffee pot, I know the k-cup option is not always a favorite even when available, so there is a new coffee pot with craffe on site now. I have updated the check in instructions to auto send thank you very much for letting us know it wasn't working, I am sorry that impacted you and your group negatively. I ill also add privacy tint to the bathroom downstairs. We would love to have you back anytime, thank you for helping us make our place that much better for the next guests.
