We did enjoy our stay at this duplex. It is definitely close (two blocks) to the Yampa River and about a 5-minute walk to downtown. However, we were disappointed by some maintenance issues and cleanliness of this property, which we expressed to the property management. Upon arrival, we noticed that two of the windows had cracks all the way through them and had been taped. Two of the large blinds in the living/dining area could not be raised, which was disappointing. The garage door opener would open, but not close the garage door. You had to hold the garage door button down inside the garage to get the garage door to close. The toaster did not work as it would burn on every setting and a couple of the hand towel bars would fall apart on the floor. Also, the oven and the drawer below the oven looked like they had not been cleaned in a long time. The white baseboards and ledges of doors had not been wiped as the dust was quite noticeable and other cleaning needed to be attended to. Basically, it was overall clean, just no attention to detail when it came to cleaning this cute duplex. The hanging plants on the front porch were almost dead. Looks like someone forgot to water them. Also, there were no dishcloths/dish towels/scrubbers to wash the dishes or any kleenex to be found. Overall, we had a good stay, but not what we were expecting for the price paid. Generally, we have been very happy with all our VRBO rentals over the years, but this one could simply use some extra TLC and some attention to detail when it comes to cleanliness and basic amenities.
