I truly am someone who never complains but I have a lot of negative things to say about this house. We had much higher expectations for this place given we paid over $2,000 for 5 nights. Around 2:00PM I asked if we could check in early but Lori said they were still cleaning and it wouldn’t be ready for a few hours. Absolutely nothing wrong with that as we didn’t expect an early check in! Lori was very nice. But upon our arrival at 4PM, the house was visibly dirty. There was dog hair all over the house- including on the table, counters, couch, and inside the fridge. There were grimy fingerprints all over the kitchen, and foot and paw prints all over the floor. I decided to wipe the counters, and the towel I used turned brown from dirt. I sent photos to Lori because I was unhappy with the cleanliness. We arranged to have them clean the house the next day and the house was clean when we returned. Please don’t mislead guests by saying cleanliness is your top priority on the listing and not take cleanliness seriously, especially during a pandemic.
There were some maintenance issues as well. Downstairs the smoke detectors were disconnected and laying on the floor. The first 5 minutes into using the grill, it ran out of propane. We didn’t even tell her because our $60 elk steak had already started cooking and we were so irritated. Went inside to finish cooking and the right side of the stove wouldn’t light. There is a lighter there to start it though. The French doors in the living room would NOT open, despite Lori saying “you just have to turn the knob really hard to the left or right”, and and the shower head in the smaller bathroom only worked about 50% of the time.
Also, there are very few curtains in this house so the privacy was limited. There is a window that looks directly into the rental apartment’s deck and it is not covered. I found this very strange.
Lastly, and I am hesitant to even say this, but my husband and I both got some very weird vibes in this house. We also heard some weird noises in the house. He woke up at 2AM EVERY single night with a weird feeling.
All in all, we splurged on this house for our honeymoon and ended up wishing we had stayed somewhere else. I normally don’t even write reviews but we were not thrilled by the lack of care for this property. Save your money and go elsewhere
