4/10 Poor

Really wanted to like it but...
This VRBO has a lot wrong with it. First off, the “road” getting to the house is extremely rough. I know this is not something the owners have control of, however, the listing should have a warning about the rough terrain. It is a 10-ish minute drive, going approx. 5-10mph while veering all over. Not recommended if you rent a sedan/compact car or have even a hint of motion sickness. The condition of the road made us reluctant to leave every day, which put a damper on our whole vacation. Here is a list of other issues:
-Upon arrival, we found a note stating that the cleaning person called in so the shower doors weren’t clean which left us wondering what else wasn’t cleaned
-The house was cold. No instructions on how to work the pellet stove. No wall heater in the master bedroom
-Master bathroom opens to the outside which leaves the bathroom cold & a lot of spiders coming in. This faces someone else's house which is fine if you are an exhibitionist
-There is someone living quite close behind the house, so it is not as private as we had thought it would be
-The front door has a smart lock but we couldn’t get it to work with the code we were sent or the other two codes posted in the house
-The back patio door doesn’t close all the way leaving a gap (& no way to lock it) which is how we got in
-The patio door leads to a kitchen door which also does not lock. This leaves the house unlocked at all times
-There is a fan in the wall in the master bedroom which leads to outside & does not have a cover. This meant a lot of debris was blown into the bedroom from outside
-The master bed frame is unstable and broken
-No extra blankets found
-Some towels smell musty
-Overly large table in living area which takes up a lot of space
-Two tv’s in living room, one is not hooked up
-Outdoor trash can was completely full upon arrival and was never emptied.
-Kitchen is very minimally stocked
-Dog poo was found in several locations including in the walkway to the front door
-They do have a phone line to call/text with issues, which we did at the end of our vacation. They responded promptly but did not follow through.
The short list of things that were good includes: the view is nice and the mattresses themselves were comfortable. Overall, we did not feel the listing accurately describes the condition of the house.
