Beautiful perfect size home for my Daughter's WeddingâŁïž
Host was very easy to communicate with as well.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful homeâŁïžâŁïž
Beware - This home suffers significantly from neglect of routine property maintenance. Photos and notes of concerning property conditions observed during our recent stay are available for online review as an MS Word document at https://1drv.ms/w/s!AjoR5EH1fYpkgYZAE6N2IUuXIETOfw.
While the host advises he is working on getting a quote to address these issues, I am doubtful he will. A number of the concerns I have noted are unchanged from prior guest comments.
I would not recommend a future stay unless the host shows reasonable evidence that significant corrections have been completed.
Given the poor conditions noted during our stay, I would recommend a 20% refund of cost as a reasonable gesture of good will. However, the host has not made any offer of a partial refund.
The place is in a great location, with great views. 2 Mornings we woke up to them lifting off hot air balloons right in front of the house. parking, if multiple vehicles, is a little tricky.
The house itself is in need of a complete renovation. There is something broken in every room and every bathroom. railings loose, walls have patches, furniture is all stained. The master bed was comfortable but I was told by other members of my party that the other beds were very uncomfortable. Multiple pull out couch's were great, the mattresses in those couch's were not and not enough pillows/blankets for the amount of beds/sofas advertised. Good size dining room table, nice kitchen. was worried about a previous review about the steps to the house and the A/C not working. A/C worked fine and the steps to the house weren't as bad as others sad. The host had great communication, but I just felt the listing could have better than what it is.
In the end it was what my party and I needed for the weekend, but this place could be so, so much more. I wouldn't necessarily say I wouldn't stay here again, but I'd look around before booking again.
The house is nice and big. There was something broken in each room. One of the double beds was very loud so we had to take the mattress off the bed to sleep. Not all the plug-ins worked. The first night the AC worked great throughout the house. The second night it stopped working upstairs and when I talked to the owner he told me the place did not have AC so we would have to open windows. One of the windows had no screen. The kitchen had broken cupboards, a stove that smoked, and pots and pans that were scratched and old. We were told to not wear shoes on the white carpet and to be careful of the white furniture. Carpet and furniture was cream and all stained. The chairs for the big table had some that were broken or about ready to break. There were cobwebs in different places. The front door box with key was hard to open and than when you did get the key out the door was hard to unlock. The house has great potential to be a nice place to stay but maintenance has not been done.
STEER CLEAR OF THIS LISTING IF YOU WANT AN ENJOYABLE EXPERIENCE
When we arrived, immediately we noticed the disrepair and uncleanliness of the house. The front steps are very dangerous, in fact my 75 year old mother fell on them later in our stay. There was open, used food left in the front room and kitchen. Many of the blinds were not in working order, ice maker and multiple lights donât work, stained and dirty carpet, floors and furniture (as well as several pieces of furniture were broken), bare minimum guest towels (and they were stained and old), mold in the showers and shower curtains, primary shower door doesnât shut, very little toilet paper left on the dispensers (we bought our own) and no extra anywhere in the house, no extra garbage bags left (eventually some were delivered), a chirping low battery smoke detector (we had to buy a replacement battery), no extra key to use during our visit (as per the house rules), backdoor was unlocked and wide open, and upstairs was 80 degrees (which we later figured out was because the AC had frozen up before we arrived and we had to deal with repairs during our visit). Unfortunately, when we contacted the rental contact about the AC we had to contact VRBO to get a response. When we were finally contacted back, the contact didnât even know where we were and that the house has AC, despite the fact that we had already contacted him about MANY other things. When stripping the beds we saw just how old & stained the mattresses were, besides being uncomfortable.
This house was roomy and comfortable for our large family. The check-in process was easy. The provided supplies, bedding, dishes, and cookware were more than adequate for our stay. We were very happy to relax here after a long drive. There is a foosball table and games downstairs. The view out the front is amazing. Exceeded our expectations and we would definitely stay here again.
