Communication with the local host through the VRBO app was not an option. The property management company wouldn’t allow us to communicate with the local host inside the app. It had to be through communications outside the app to their personal cell phone. The home was not clean. There is a thick layer of dust on all ceiling fans and mantle in the living room. The basement bedroom mattress had a dirty sheet with bodily fluid stains. Additionally, the closet in the basement bedroom had animal fecal matter in it. We have photo evidence of all of the above and can provide upon request.

The whole stay from the moment we checked in was awful. I’ll start off by saying I don’t ever leave bad reviews, not even when they are deserved. Any time I’ve had a problem with a Vrbo or simply just a question I’ve always been helped quickly and efficiently. This time, I was left with no answers the whole time and no responses from the host. First, I was never even sent check in instructions and had to call over and over to get them. Then, a strange man just showed up to the door at 7:00 pm saying he was there to work on the hot tub. My sister and I were here alone at the time with our young kids. We were given no notice from Vrbo or the host that he would be here or that the hot tub wasn’t even working. He was here from 7-11 pm. After he left we did what he said to get the hot to warm up in hopes it would be hot the following day. Well—the hot tub STILL wasn’t working. It took me calling Vrbo support several times, talking to several people and them contacting the host for him to finally come and fix it. By then it was already the second night of our stay and we still hadn’t been able to use it. I was willing to let that go—but the host continued to be rude and blame me saying I didn’t know how to work the hot tub. The cabinets and floors are dirty. The ice machine doesn’t work, he refused to let me use the washer and dryer even tho the listing states laundry as an amenity. Save your money and book else where. Not worth the hassle.

The host was extremely rude and sent me several inappropriate text messages after not responding through the app. The stay was the worst we have ever experienced. The furniture was dirty and stained, the whole house smelled very heavily of propane, and the hot tub was not in working condition and was dirty (this was a trip for my daughter and the hot tub was the whole reason for booking this property). We feel we wasted our time and money and will never return to this property.
