“We were lucky to find a place with 4 bedrooms, just wish the place was how it was advertised. Everyrhing seems downgraded per the photos, like a complete 360. I had to spend about $200 just in house items like, toilet paper, napkins, trash bags for kitchen, and cooking pans. Something was wrong with the outdoor pool that was never resolved for the 4 weeks we were there, nor any chairs for the pool. Not sure if I would go back.”

“Your not allowed to smoke on property very inconvenient. A smokers gazebo in back yard would have been awesome. Could even be profitable if you say every cigarette butt found you pay a fee... the only other thing is the hot tub only had two working spots to enjoy the jets. All in all it was very clean and we had a wonderful stay”

“The house was beautiful, as was the yard. Comfy beds, nice bathroom fixtures and a great kitchen. The house has a hot tub, but we did not use it because it did not look and feel clean. It had what appeared to be a biofilm on the water and was slimy on the sides, and under the headrests there was a thick off-white slime. I brought it to the attention of the host, and while they did send the hot tub tech out, the issue was not resolved. They said it was from a surfactant used in the maintenance process. I was still able to wipe grayish yellow grease off the sides of the tub. We chose not to get in it. (I have never seen that kind of residue before. It was gross.) Since a hot tub was one of the things we specifically searched for in a rental, paying for it and not being able to use it was very disappointing after a long day of driving and hiking in the mountains. I asked for a partial refund for that reason, and was told no because the tub had been "serviced" during our stay.”

“The house is across the street from the lovely city park and the house itself is nice with good, large double beds. On the negative side, the "BBQ grill" was not provided, even after twice contacting the host. There is a fenced back yard but no outdoor table or furniture, although the garage does contain two lawn chairs.”

“house was 78 degrees. Half the house was window/ceiling units which stayed cooled. The main part with the central air never cooled down. So many outlets did not work. The picnic table outside was broken. Trash left all over property including beer tabs around the pool. Empty pond/hot tub thing at the entrance of the house, making it very dangerous. One of the bedrooms is not part of the “main” house, meaning you have to go outside and enter into a whole different room with a different keypad. Owners stated pest control was done the day prior to arrival but we found 10 cockroaches still alive and many termites, including crawling in our bed in the middle of the night. Trim in the house coming off wall, being wet and terminates. Bugs/ants on our belongings, including our drinks. Hole in pool where broken light is missing and laying on floor. Busted window covered up with a paper plate. The children’s bedroom with bunk beds is in the garage and unsafe. We packed our bags and left next day”

“At $4,000 a month, this stay is a masterclass in subtractive hospitality. The experience is defined by what is missing: a couch in the living room, paper towels, trash bags, and any form of cleaning supplies. While an oven is provided, the absence of bakeware or oven mitts renders it a decorative box. The dryer is broken, and I was informed it is too expensive to repair—a bold claim to make to a guest paying luxury rates. The property’s hygiene is questionable, evidenced by a television remote coated in sticky soda residue. Structurally, the house is temperamental; doors refuse to stay shut unless locked, and the locks require the precision of a safecracker to engage. Externally, the crumbling driveway is a shared battleground with a neighbor, while the road serves as a loud, high-traffic cut-through. To conclude the experience, the hosts forced an undisclosed external contract upon us after payment and refused pre-stay questions due to “automated messages” they set up.”

“The location is fabulous since it is a short walk to the lake, restaurants, and food markets. However, I discovered a urine-stained bath mat. I probably wouldn't have noticed it if I hadn't stayed for five weeks. Also, there is a circular crevice on the front lawn, which about 10 feet from the entrance. Once stepping in it I fell flat on my face, and when I notified the owners about it, their only response was, "Sorry for the inconvenience."”

“Empty koi pond right at entrance very dangerous, ant roach and fly infestation, many guests left the home after 1 night. Bunk beds are unstable and missing screws, no heat at all in 2 rooms. Those 2 rooms are not a part of the main house. One bathroom is outside no way to get to it from inside the house. Our personal belongings were covered in ants, the outlets don’t work, I would not come back to this house or suggest it to anyone else. We found a dead huge roach while stripping the beds on the day of check out, the host has refused any type of compensation.”

“Significant utility issues during our stay, including loss of electricity that caused the refrigerator to fail and approximately $300 worth of groceries to spoil. We were told electricity was working when it was not, and that the only issue was water, which left us nearly two days without the ability to shower. Repairs were repeatedly delayed with no clear timeline. Communication frequently shifted blame onto us, including claims that utilities being down was acceptable because our car was not in the parking lot, which was untrue and irrelevant. Utilities should be functional for an active reservation regardless of guest presence. These were part of multiple ongoing issues throughout our stay. Overall, we were unable to properly enjoy our stay and found the experience very stressful and disappointing.”

“Don’t stay.Horrible, dirty, & unsafe. I never leave bad reviews but this place was beyond bad. They said they didn’t clean because they didn’t know we were coming. Appliances didn’t work fence stays open to roadway. No bedding, pillows, towels. Glass all over the yard with multiple holes in the fence. Shed full of sharp metal and doesn’t close. Dead bugs and lizards inside. Over charged on advertised pet fee. Flooring cracked and a door propped up which was dangerous. Smelled horrible. They said they would compensate us for all our troubles once we checked out and then told us because we checked out they wouldn’t compensate us for anything even the overcharged pet fee and bedding we needed to buy purse. The most frustrating part of it all was that they advertise it as a safe secure place for pets and animals which was not at all the case especially with the front fence being wide open to a main roadway and 3 other openings in the fence. They had HUGE glass pieces all over the property.”
