On opening the door I was assaulted by terrible cigar smell. I had come to Michigan to host my family at this lake ,as I do every year.
When I called the property manager she said her cleaning person had told her this smell was there and had attempted to clean it out. Unfortunately, the smell was throughout all the fabric and carpeting. the manager said she would have a cleaning crew the next day. I asked to be moved to another property. It did not happen, she said she could not contact the property owner. I spent a smell ridden night with the windows open but even the curtains were smelly above the bed. The carpet cleaners arrived, I was expecting a disaster cleaning company with high powered fans, no just Stanley steamer. I left and when I returned they were finishing up, the water was being dispensed into the toilet. It was the color of strong coffee! It apparently had not been cleaned in quite awhile! Now the carpet was wet and the furniture was wet! And it smelled like wet cigars and wet dogs. Oh yes, the previous person had dogs too! I again asked to be moved and was put off again,.by the fact that the property owner could not be reached. the fans turned out to be 2 plastic very mediocre, flimsy fans. I opened all the windows,half did not have screens and put the fans on and went down to the lake.
There were fishhooks, One was a small fish, with 6 hooks on it! and debris on the very small sand area and in the water. There was goose debris on the dock. I washed off the dock myself several times. I asked for a rake for the water and sand and they said they would have a boy do it. The boy raked a little patch of the sand and never touched the shallow water where my little grandchildren were coming to play.i
As soon as she said she would move me, I repacked my clothes, but because of the cigar bar smell in the house, I had to re-wash all my clean clothes!
The entrance door was off a parking lot, where the liquor store customers and the boaters coming from the lake come for their liquor. It was noisy all day and early in the morning there was a lot of banging at the wall the separated the house from the store.
I told her the curtains really smelled and she provided me with laundry soap! fortunately my oldest granddaughter is tall and she removed all the curtains and washed them and she rehung them.
The only reason I stayed was she kept telling me she had a larger nicer house for me. Only men cigars would like this . NOT GOOD FOR FAMILY
