Wow! They really pulled the wool over our eyes on this one.
Safety was our first and foremost concern. We thought GPS sent us to the wrong location. The neighbor across the way had multiple vehicles from out of state all parked along their property. It looked like a car junkyard. And they had religious paraphernalia and signs all posted outside their home. Talk about scary! We were encouraged by the property manager to park our car on the street, we were hesitant after seeing this, but while the garage remains free
We checked all the windows and doors for security, low and behold 5 windows wouldn't lock. One can easily slide them open from the outside and gain access to the inside.
The property itself looks nice! It was the neighborhood and neighbor that was the greatest concern.
We are strangers coming into strange place. We didn't feel safe. We contacted the property manager about the windows, she asked me what I wanted her to do at 6pm at night as she was 45 minutes away.
We found firewood to use as dowels and placed them all along the window tracks. And also stated "feel free to look for more wood in the woods behind the property".
Are you kidding me?
I'm on vacation and shouldn't have to worry about this.
Then we went out to dinner. As night cap, we wanted to have camomile tea to help ease us and relax us to sleep. The kettle had white residue on rinsing. So I took a closer look at the inside. Well someone had used it to boil milk? in. It made me think, they really didn't clean the property between client use. It made me think also, were the bedsheets and towels cleaned as well if in the first few hrs we're finding this!
The next day , by the dining table we found bottled water cap and what seems like 2 mice droppings. Ugh! We were only going to stay 4 night and 3 days. I don't want our vacation ruined by complaints piling up by the day. Plus who wants to spend all day playing phone tag while you're on vacation with little or no cell coverage to the very place where we were going
Close to Glacier National Park was one reason why we chose this place. They were only 11 miles away. BUT, for peace of mind, we would have stayed elsewhere. I felt like I was in the ghetto!
The supermarket down the road was robbed so they had a wanted sign and a picture of the perp on their window. Not to mention the colorful people hanging out the laundromat next to the supermarket.
