Couldn’t have been more excited to celebrate my bachelorette party at this gorgeous accommodating home.
I will warn you when clicking on the address directly from the VRBO listing, it does not take you to the correct residence. Half of our vehicles ended up about 15 minutes away. We tried via Google and Apple Maps.
Upon arriving, we were upset we relied on the wine fridge pictured in the listing as it was locked with others food. This would have been clutch considering the actual refrigerator and freezer were going out prior to our stay. Food/beverages for 15 girls went spoiled by the end of the weekend and a countless number of trips to get ice. We didn’t get much luckier when it came to the double dutch oven. The top one did not work at all and the bottom took two hours to heat properly.
The major issue we found was the dangerous railing on the top story deck that was leaning. We found this issue after my blind mother reached over to speak to someone on the lower level. Upon mentioning this to the property manager their response from the owner stated, “that’s why I have insurance.” The decking was connected by three vertical posts with zip ties, so you could tell the liability issue at hand has not been a priority. Unacceptable!
Now to the best part... as the host of the party, I woke up after a storm to their dumpster had smashed into my vehicle damaging what will cost me a significant amount out of pocket. After the fact, we saw all of the logs that were neglected from holding the dumpster in place.
Cherry on top... we had no hot water our entire stay and on the third night the first floor smelled of sewer.
I feel we received the short end of the straw with this listing as I see all the 5 star reviews. Upon reading the last review, they mentioned a few items weren’t working and the owner promised them to be fixed. The owner clearly does not care for the well-being of the home and is only here to rake in cash. Clearly noted by the property managers.
On a positive note, the house can EASILY accommodate at least 16 people. The hot tub is well maintained. There are plenty of camping chairs, towels, cooking/grilling accessories, blender, knives, and a long table available for use.
I wish I could provide a 5 star review as asked by the owner, but this was a compete horror story!
