Bait and Switch Overpriced 1970s time capsule

This owner uses Evolve as booking agency. I was charged $575 a night booking 5 months in advance, The advertised "average" rate was $275 per night. There were $1,000 in add-on fees on booking so the actual nightly rate we paid was almost three times the advertised "average." The property is a 1970s time capsule. Nothing, absolutely nothing has been touched since the place was built. The kitchen lacked basics like cutting boards and tongs. The oven was disgustingly filthy. Some bath mats were not laundered. A throw in the family room was covered in food stains. The location was not .10 mile from the lake as claimed. It was actually down a very steep hill on a busy road more than a mile from the nearest beach with parking access. Walking to the lake was out of the question. The stairs to the side porch appear ready to collapse, an accident waiting to happen and unlikely to survive the next hard winter. Trees over the driveway in sore need of trimming. The property simply reeks of neglect.
