I want to provide usable feedback for future renters. There were some definite pros, as well as some unnecessary cons with this rental. For some
context, our group has six people in total for a week. My wife, both sets of our parents, and me.
I will start with the pros:
The inside was clean. We felt comfortable sitting on the sofas and the bed sheets were clean.
The area is fantastic. Warwick is a short drive away and cool little town. Great coffee place called The Daily Bean was also close. It only took us an hour or so to get to Central Park in Manhattan.
You can stand on the deck and look at the lake. It was too cold and windy for the boats, but they appeared clean and usable.
The appliances worked well, although we had to fiddle with the thermostat a little, but the heat finally kicked on.
The picture accurately represent the inside.
Now for the cons:
There were some odd things missing. It was known well in advance that there would be six people here for an entire week.
Toilet paper- there was only three rolls in the entire house for us. We had to buy more. Unacceptable, but fixable.
Iron and ironing board- none. However, we understand this is more of a cabin and most people won’t need an iron while coming here. But we could have used one.
Closets- none. We had to hang our clothes on the coat rack.
Hand soap- half empty bottles that were watered down. Unacceptable, but fixable.
Shampoo- none. The listing said bathroom toiletries would be provided. Shampoo should be part of this. Had we not brought some, we would’ve needed to buy some.
Trash bags- Not enough for the whole week. Unacceptable, but fixable.
Vent above the shower was dirty and started dripping dirty water when the steam collected from the shower. Should be cleaned.
Strong musty smell, especially in the kitchen.
We had to strip the beds and put all the linen in front of the washer. Seems odd to do a vacation rental’s work for them after paying a decent amount of money.
Bottom line- would we stay here again? Probably, but only if the above items were taken care of.
