I have stayed in many VRBOs over the last 10 years and have never felt the need to leave a negative review until this stay. Unfortunately, this home did not meet the standards we expected.The biggest issue was the bug problem. There were large black ants throughout the home, not just a few, but hundreds during our stay. We woke up at night with ants crawling on us, and we all ended up with multiple ant bites. I reached out to the owner and, while she apologized, nothing was done to help fix the issue while we were there. I understand bugs can happen, but the lack of action was disappointing.The home itself felt very old, dingy, and not truly prepared as a guest rental. Even though it may have been cleaned, it never felt clean because so many things were worn and outdated. There were also many personal belongings left throughout the home, including opened food/condiments in the refrigerator and clothing in closets, making it feel like we were staying in someone’s personal home rather than a vacation rental. There were also no outdoor trash cans provided, so we had to keep trash bags piled in the garage all week (which smelled) and put loose bags outside for pickup, which felt unsafe in an area with active bears.The neighborhood and Sapphire area are beautiful, but I cannot recommend this particular property. There are many other homes in the area that are better maintained and set up to provide guests with a clean, comfortable, stress-free vacation.
