I scheduled a little weekend getaway for my husband. I saw the listing and it looked cute and was close to a state park, which is what I wanted. The listing stated that the owners lived on site but it didn’t state that they were right next door.
Check in was easy…but once we got inside we noticed dust and a few dead bugs in the living room. The mat on the kitchen table was also sticky. Those were things that we over looked and said would be ok.
The part we could not deal with was later on that night when we returned from night fishing. We came back to the house and found not one but two scorpions in the bedroom. Our dog was going a little crazy and as we looked at the floor we saw the scorpion, then I looked up and saw another one on the wall next to my husband.
We killed both of them and placed them in the trash can. We packed up our digs and our things and left right away. I texted the owner the next morning and let him know about the incident. This is the disturbing part. Not only did the owner call us liars, he stated that his wife checked the trash can and couldn’t find anything. Then he had the audacity to say that it’s Texas and we were out in the middle of the country, critters sometimes come in to get water.
We asked for a refund and he stated that they were not comfortable with that and that it was our choice to leave. I found that very concerning, especially since we were only there for about 6 hours and he did not seem to care about our safety.
