We unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. Shortly after check-in, my daughter was the first to arrive and, while turning on lights throughout the house, saw a large rat run across the room. We immediately contacted the property manager, and someone came out and appeared surprised, referring to it as a “mouse.” We were told it was likely due to rural living and possibly because a door had been left open by housekeeping. Mouse traps and peanut butter were left for us. However, as we began looking more closely, it became clear this was not an isolated incident. Multiple kitchen drawers containing utensils had rodent droppings inside them. There were also droppings on the carpet near existing traps, and we found a large rat trap and additional mouse traps already set up inside a cabinet. This suggested an ongoing rodent issue rather than a one-time occurrence.Additionally, the outdoor umbrellas contained bats, and there were bat droppings covering portions of the deck and outdoor tables. I understand that wildlife is part of living in a rural area, and bats outdoors are not entirely avoidable. However, knowing guests were arriving, the outdoor areas should have been cleaned before check-in. I have photographs documenting the droppings, traps, and conditions we encountered upon arrival. Because we had family traveling from out of state, finding alternative accommodations on such short notice was not realistic.
