New to VRBO and not to VRBO Standards or Expectations

This review is not written lightly, this property truly has great potential to be a destination VRBO. The owners are new so we stayed at the destination (there was literally no where else in a 60 mile radius that could have accommodated us at short notice) and tried to let them know several items that were not up to the level of expectations we have become accustomed to with other VRBOs we have rented. Things like the multiple calls/texts to talk over check in process and what you can and cannot use or what the property does or does not offer. We suggested more details on the listing and lists of guest expectations etc, to this they responded "well I called and told you", again telling one guest all the details is not convenient for the that guest or the rest. We let them know the property's cleanliness was not good, multiple cobwebs in and outside the home, remnants of rodents, after the "cleaning person" had been there, a problem that should probably be taken care of prior to renting out again. This was not received well, which was disappointing. The price for the cleanliness, ease of check in/communication was too high in our opinion. As stated, this was not written lightly as it could be a great place with a little effort from the owners.

Family gathering

The basement part of the house has a big open area that has a queen bed, and a pull out futon. At the time of our booking, that wasn't clearly depicted in photos, but it was explained verbally on the phone. The owners were there to greet us and make sure to explain very thoroughly everything we needed to know. We were called almost daily during our visit. The kitchen is very well-equipped, as well as towels, linens, etc. It was a perfect set up for our group! The lake was weedy, and not suited for swimming from the dock. We did catch some fish from our boat! There is a great public swimming beach about 10 minutes away in Starbuck!
