I found this rental on vrbo with the pets allowed filter selected. I booked and immediately got a call. First to note, the automatic selection of payment is non refundable, so on the call, they ask,if for a fee, do u want to change. Next asked if a pet would be there and added that fee. Moving forward I was sent an extensive contract where every rule had a fee attached, for even the smallest of things. This was not clearly detailed or made available via vrbo. Upon reading this, there were very specific rules about the pet, also not available on vrbo but also not asked to me when called immediately after and asked about pets.
The no contact check in is taxing. Once you finally are at peace with signing this contract you have to take a selfie with your ID and picture of your credit card. Can't fax it per their request bc of poor lines or printing too dark. I emailed this. They then sent an email a few hrs before arrival for entrance info. If you do not do this, you travel 20-30 mins out of the way to meet at the office which is likely not open by check in time depending on arrival.
Once arriving, the space is dark, the water is from a well and tinged yellow, the hot water smells of like a hot spring "sulfer-like" (rotten eggs) smell. The hot tub, wich they mentioned was drained after each time, had a thick brown-yellow film. We were told to put on jets, it's bc of well water, and it would come up. This was not the case. (Have pictures)
So, we had bottled water, showered elsewhere, and did not use the advertised hot tub.
Outside of these issues, the location, cleanliness and someone contacting us was fine.
Would likely not recommend or stay again.
