When we booked this house in Dec 2023, there were only a couple of reviews online and they were not great. They mentioned maintenance issues and lack of cleanliness. I had hoped that the host would have responded to the feedback and taken care of the issues by the time we arrived for our stay in June. Unfortunately, that was not the case.
Upon arrival, I spent the first hour & 1/2 (before my family arrived) vacuuming the main floor, rugs and carpeted stairs, because it was filthy. There were dead bugs, and cobwebs everywhere. The carpet on the back deck was disgusting - like not even a little effort to tidy it.
And I was really trying to give them the benefit of the doubt- But then I found out that the hosts only live like 20 minutes away from the place, so there’s not really an excuse.
I could go on for days, but let me just say the bedrooms upstairs were fairly clean (except the carpets- they all needed vacuuming). The bathrooms were OK and the master bathroom was missing the toilet seat. The basement was kind of gross and had lots of maintenance issues and spiders. The basement bathroom was inexcusable. None of the kids wanted to sleep downstairs so they all ended up on air mattresses on the second floor.
The pros were - the kitchen is large. It was a lot of space. The A/C worked great for such a large house.
Could be a nice place but the cons were a major topic of conversation during our entire stay. For that price, as it was, I definitely can’t recommend it.
