Disliked: Cleanliness
First off I never stayed here for my dates, so my review is only of the host. The host sent me a message the night before I was scheduled to arrive stating that the furnace was in the process of being replaced and the house was being heated by space heaters, which he said are working out quite well so far, just don’t ask me about my electric bill. I responded that I am not comfortable staying with two young kids and a dog in a house with space heaters. He refused to refund me and actually told me I was being grossly unfair to other guests that may have booked. I only booked the house the weekend before. He obviously knew the furnace wasn’t working and could have informed me then. If you look at a recent review of this house on another website you’ll see a review stating that they not were told about the space heaters prior to their arrival. First off space heaters can only be used in an emergency situation by landlords. Rentals are required to have a central heating system keeping an house to a minimum of 68 degrees by law. This was not an emergency as I had not even arrived. Space heaters by fire code are not to be left unattended or while sleeping. So beware that while the house may seem very nice in reviews, the host is dishonest. I contacted VRBO and they refunded me my money and tried to help me find another place to stay on such short notice, so thank you VRBO.
