4/10 Poor

Cathy S., Coventry

Disliked: Cleanliness

Many issues...

There were dirty dishes in the totally full dish washer. The main bathroom sink or toilet leeks onto the floor, constantly wet. The primary bedroom mattress sinks down on the head part, very uncomfortable. The Basement rooms are nothing like the pictures show, and the floor leaks water all the way under the bed, no one wanted to stay down there due to the musty smell. The small house next to the large one, has skunks under the home and they continually spray, the home stunk really bad! It rained a few day on our stay, and the living area with TV, can only sit three people. There were not enough chairs in the main home for the amount of people they say it holds. The outside was very nice. We would not return.
