Jul 14, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness Overall we were happy with our stay, but that had more to do with the location than the house. I would have liked the check in details slightly earlier because we were traveling from a couple hours away and I was nervous we would not be able to get into the house. When I booked it said we would receive check in details a few days in advance. When we arrived there were some piles of dirt, leaves and sticks on the floor. The house did not have a broom, vacuum or dust pan. In addition to the piles of dirt, it was clear the floors had not been mopped in some time. The AC units all looked old and dirty. I understand the house was listed as ‘vintage’ but some of the bedspreads had holes. I was disappointed that I could not get the washing machine to work because I was headed for a camping trip right after and was counting on being able to wash some things before our next stay began. The property owner was very responsive regarding my issue with the washing machine, but it still did not work. This home has great potential given its location, but it could use updates to couches, beds and bedding and provide minimal cleaning supplies and an indoor trash bin. ##### Laura F.
