We've stayed in many rental properties over the years, and it gives me no pleasure whatsoever to write this negative review. But honestly, the owners of this property need to understand that the condition of the home is unacceptable. If it were just one or two issues, I'd say "fine, it's a rental property." But the list of concerns is long, well documented, and disconcerting:
- Empty propane tank on gas grill
- Gas fireplace in main living room does not work
- Broken glass in cabinet and sitting in drinking glasses -- a true hazard for children
- Burned out, mismatched and missing lightbulbs throughout
- Dead batteries in all (ALL) remote controls
- Maggots in kitchen cabinets (not kidding)
- Dirty, worn carpet
- Accumulated junk everywhere...old electronics, half-used paint cans, random useless pieces of furniture, packages delivered to prior renters, I could go on...
- Duct tape on vent/ceiling
- Electrical outlets that do not provide power
- Broken lampshades
- Worn and broken furniture (I have pictures)
- Dishwasher drawer does not close properly
- Garage door opener unreliable
- Peeling paint/stain on exterior
- Etc., etc., etc.
Unfortunately we rented this place for THREE WEEKS! So after a week or so I went to the property manager's office and explained the situation -- I even sent them my list of concerns in writing. They promised to rectify, but only came to the house to organize cabinets and drop off new cookware. They addressed virtually NONE of my concerns.
Honestly, if you're looking for a place to stay while you ski, play quarters and eat pizza with your college frat brothers...this place is probably fine. But if you want to bring your children, family, cook meals, live like a civilized adult, you'd be wise to look elsewhere. And I repeat...it gives me no pleasure whatsoever to write this review. None.
Respectfully submitted,
Andy
