Celebrating a monumental birthday with family was great- and the house can very easily fit 13 sleeping and hanging out. However, the description was "off" on a few things, we had some concerns and disappointing aspects of the home, and should be addressed.
* NO outdoor maintenance whatsoever: The porches, the decks, the steps, the walkways and entire yard was completely covered with leaves! It was dangerous considering (we could only check in at 4:01 PM) it was getting dark. The back and lower deck (rotting wood) to the hot tub was very difficult to know where to walk. The next morning over 3 hours was spent "sweeping" all the leaves for there was no access to any yard equipment.
* The house was very musty smelling as we entered - not sure when the house was last opened up and cleaned? We had to buy candles and air freshener
* The house was superficially cleaned - or at least not cleaned again before our arrival. Dust, dead bugs in showers, cobwebs and spiders. The kitchen pots (caked on dried food) and dishes (dirty/grimy) and silverware/utensils (stained/dirty) all had to be washed before we could cook anything.
* Mismatched glassware and plates - not enough of either.
* The fireplace did not work - which after reading prior reviews we inquired - and I was told it was working. The control system was literally burned - and some prior renters had used real wood and burned the artificial wood and all controls ??? This was very disappointing to the older parents in our party who really wanted a fireplace. I spoke with Vacasa - and they credited me $200 for the inoperable fireplace and sent over a maintenance guy - he said there was nothing he could do about the damaged fireplace, and by then we had taken care of leaves as much as we could. He was a nice guy; but preventively/proactively these things should have been taken care of.
*. The Bunkroom had a 2 single beds and bunk beds - but one single bed had no frame/headboard/footboard - and the mattress was on the floor - the broken bed was in a storage unit in the basement. Not a key sleeping opportunity for our grown children
*One upstairs bedroom had broken blinds - and we could not raise them during the day.
We have been renting homes for over 35+ years - and understand that things happen, and homes can have issues. But I was very disappointed that we had so many issues on a 4 night stay. Clean homes with appropriate and ample supplies is a key aspect of great homes
