2/10 Terrible

Verified traveler

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy
Fist we were not given access to house until 5:30 when we had a 4pm check in time. And had also requested early check in weeks before. When arrived cleaning person still there - however, this property was old and filthy. The furniture , couches stained and gross. Hair, dirt, food under cushions. used qtips and toothpicks on floor, couches and tables. Bathrooms falling apart - towel rack repeatedly fell off the wall. Kitchen table chipped and rotting. Kitchen dirty- refrigerator not working well, wouldn’t get cold. Had to get a cooler and ice for food/drinks . Photos on listing don’t represent the state of disrepair of this place. The pond filled with trash. Contacted owner, who responded, and said “the team would reach out” but no one contacted us. Made the best of it as we had no choice or go anywhere else.
