To start, Laura was awesome to work with. She was prompt and got our payment taken care of easily and quickly. She was available by text, and responded immediately. Upon arriving, the house is a little off the beaten path, which we LOVED. The scenery was lovely, and after the rain we've had, everything was so green and lush. The first thing we noticed was the size. It was HUGE! That was definitely a plus for us. After finding our bedroom, and unpacking the truck, we noticed mouse droppings through out the house (especially in the kitchen and master bedroom/bathroom) - which we found unusual because we were told another couple was leaving that same morning, and that the cleaning folks would be there to clean everything that afternoon. The house was generally very shabby, and not very well maintained. Not that it really matters, but the decor was very dated, and a little creepy. Lots of dusty, fake flower arrangements, and weird, stuffed animals. Not the high end over all appearance we had expected for the rental rate. The blankets/comforters were very worn, and smelled musty, the couch pillows were stained, and we read in the cabin instructions that blankets, shams, and comforters are NOT to be stripped after use. (YUCK!) The hot tub was old, and dirty because the cover on it was actually split in two. There were bugs, and tiny pieces of styrofoam floating in it. We didn't even get in it, which was a disappointment because that is one of our favorite ways to unwind on vacation. We were not able to use the pool table downstairs, because all of the pool sticks were either broken or missing tips. Again, another disappointment because that was one of our "must haves" for a property. There were a handful of yellow jackets on the main level that we had to kill, perhaps from the cleaning crew leaving the door open? The house was VERY warm, even with the windows open. Only one window in the master bedroom had a screen, so it was probably warmer than it would have been with 2 windows open.
We do not get to go on many vacations because of our hectic job schedules, and when we spend just under $1000.00 of our hard earned money, on 2 nights away, we really expect a lot more. I am sad to leave this review, but would hate for someone else to make the same mistake we did.
