Listing is extremely deceptive
Pictures show a pool, but the pool is not open. No cleaning pump, and it smells. Full of dead bugs, no net.
Pictures show a small lake behind house. That's the neighbor's pond, no access allowed
The "Fifth Bedroom" with a murphy bed in the downstairs living room
TV in master bedroom down stairs does not work
"Fire place" is a wood stove
Dispensers in the showers were empty, and water pressure was not great
There is no boat, Kayak or Canoe on property
Listing says beach, Beach view, Beach front, Water front, Lake view, Lake, River – None of these are at the property at all
There was no Game Room, stereo , music library and limited books / games
Wifi Internet is Satellite fed which is extremely temperamental. Dish needs realignment due to being attached to a deck
NO bear proof trash receptacles
House was not cleaned, no sheets, no clean towels, food and mess left from previous renters
Grounds were unkept. Gardner who stopped by unexpected (another problem) said the owner only wants to maintain the front lawn. The rest of the small property has grass and weeds 4 feet high which made it hard to access the animals and garden
No info was left for trash pickup
Dishwasher was jammed and moldy
Grill was the kind you see in public parks, and it was filthy. Had to go buy a brush to scrub it. Small portable grill on the deck was so dirty we didn’t even bother
Coffee maker in main kitchen had roaches in it
Hot Tub was moldy
LOTS of centipedes. Killed about a dozen in the house on the tile on walls every morning. We don’t keep doors or windows open so they are likely coming up the drain.
There was a Claw hammer that fell (I caught it) off the top of the Murphy bed when I was pulling the bed down. Good thing it didn’t land on one of my kids.
Bottom line: This owner is not ready to be a VRBO host. They did not address the issues we had other then scramble a house cleaner away from a family event to come and do a surface cleaning. This meant we were contained to the basement to stay out of her way out of courtesy for the first day and didn’t get to “enjoy” the house until 10pm. Owners have excuses for everything, and had the gall to blame the cleaner even though she was not told we were coming. The animals on the property were just goats and half of them never came close to you. Don’t rent here. You won’t be happy with what you are paying. VRBO should delist and restrict the owner from future listings.
