Some of the amenities were not in good condition for use and looked unkept (pool, grill). There were mouse droppings inside of the house in several areas. ##### Katherinne Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Zygmunt Sep 20, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication This property is advertised as having a pool and spa. Neither were clean and the spa was half empty. Lack of communication from the host made us lose a night, at the property which was not reimbursed in anyway. ##### Zygmunt Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025
