First, we found a dead mouse (caught in a trap) in the kids game room in the basement, along with a spread of several tens of dead insects (ladybugs mostly). I get that the house is in a rural, wooded area and wildlife will find a way to get in - that's not the problem. It's that all that was there waiting for us, which begs the question as to whether the landlord or host did a timely walk through. Additionally, the basement itself does not have any heat. There's an inoperable wood stove, but I guess it's mainly for show. Consequently, with freezing temperatures outside and no extra blankets, the basement bedroom (4 bunk beds - ideal for kids) was unusable, as was the sitting area. Also, If you have a party of more than five, good luck with the limited hot water. Lastly, we never received any check-in/out instructions via email or through the Vrbo app. I had to call Vrbo's 1-800 number upon arriving to get the host's number to call to get instructions on how to open the door. Otherwise, there was no communication or even acknowledgement of our stay from the Host. There are plenty of Verb properties in the area, so I would recommend looking at others.
