Steer clear of this host!!!!

This host is argumentative, unhelpful, foul and downright greedy for your money! Period! I had emailed for a late check-in (as we were driving 6hrs to the property after working during the day) and the host assured me I could check-in anytime and had 24hr access of the property with the August Home app on my phone. (screenshots saved) we arrived and the August Home app would not work! That's when the host came across the camera on the property arguing, calling us stupid, telling me & my husband we were the problem! Wouldn't physically help us into the property, in fact, demanded MORE MONEY to get his help. Funny thing is... this August Home app WILL NOT WORK with VRBO and host even mentioned that. So he knowingly accepted our reservation, sent us to the August Home app knowing it wouldn't work, (again I even verified via email it would work and screenshots of him telling me it would) so he cancelled our reservation while standing on the property porch for well over an hour trying to get in. Then again tried to collect even more money from us! Steer clear of this argumentative and verbally abusive host! VRBO is also dragging feet refunding our full stay (since we couldn't even enter the property!)

First visit to Kentucky

The Tuck was perfect for our weekend getaway. The drive getting there is beautiful. We couldn't have asked for better weather. It was nice to sit outside after dinner with the fire pit. It’s just the cutest place and had everything we needed. I’ve been telling everyone about it. We can’t wait to go back, looks like there’s more being added too.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Tuck. Perfect for my husband and I traveling through the area for the night. It has absolutely everything you could need and want in a rental!

Exactly as Described

The location and structure where exactly what was described. Isolated but easy access to everything one could need. I was in town for event at horse park. The drive was easy and I passed any major or minor store/restaurant needed. Access via highway or main roads with ease. But once u hit the last mile you forget you are so close to Lexington. Highly recommend to anyone looking for on tend design with a well crafted DIY environment. Definitely a project if joy for the owner.
