We encourage you to read this review carefully, as well as all of the reviews. Then, judge it's validity. We do agree, "this was a nightmare," for us as homeowners.
In summary, arrest warrants were issued for this person. He is now facing numerous criminal & legal charges related to his stay. Criminal trespassing, Criminal damage to property, Theft by Taking, Terroristic Threats, and defamation of character. A restraining order was also issued.
His employer, of over 15 years, has terminated him as a result of his conduct.
He broke into "Locked Areas," that he was "clearly" informed(verbal & written) were "Off Limits" and "Do Not Enter." At that point, he was asked to leave. And, refused. Instead, he began sending numerous antagonizing emails with homicidal threats & derogatory comments. His emails detailed plans, intent & means(guns) to execute threats. When I refused to respond to these emails. He accessed my Facebook account & posted more threats, with website links referencing death threats. I had to canceled my FB account. These documents were given to local authorities.
We have a beautiful lakefront home, that our guests have enjoyed, see reviews.
There is NO issue with hot water, nor has there ever been, (see other reviews) We do not advertise a rehabilitation facility with "hot springs" & healing waters. As he expected, per his statements, for his wife with serve arthritis. We made every reasonable attempt to accommodate this person, reduced rental rate(because his insurer reimbursement rate was lower, than our cost), sending a plumber(that he denied access), etc. However, he crossed the line by breaking into "Areas Off Limits."
When he departed, he left appliances & gas grill turned on. Thus, placing our home at risk of fire. Which questions, what caused the fire at his home? Yet, he questioned why he wasn't allowed to use charcoal grill.
According to him, his son & a friend accidentally fell into the lake, and, undressed outside on the porch. And, he has accused me of recording his son.
I have no knowledge of this incident, other than his report. I do question how does "two" 12y.o. accidentally fall into the lake in the middle of Winter.
As a "direct" result of this experience, we must make efforts not to repeat. Guest may be asked additional questions about their stay, and rental agreement will be strictly enforced.
We value the safety & security of our home. And, under NO circumstance will we allow any guest to jeopardize our property.
