Comfortable House, Nice Spot on the River

This is a comfortable old house by a scenic bend in the river, with nice updates and everything important in good working order. We chaperoned a short spring break excursion for four HS senior boys who had the lower level rooms (and hot tub) to themselves. The common area on the main level was great for eating meals and the kitchen proved serviceable for cooking several meals. My wife and I had the upper level to ourselves. Solid Wifi if you need to work or want to stream movies. Note that it is easy to hear what is happening in the lower level common area from the main level. The location is a mile or so from the main road and quite peaceful, but close enough to Elkton to easily access a nice Food Lion and at least one good restaurant (Old 33 Beer and Burger). Day trips to Luray Caverns and Shenandoah NP are very manageable. We mostly kept clear of the river as it was still quite cold in late March. The fire pit looks nice, but there was a county-wide no-burn order in effect so we did not use it.

Not the paradise we expected

I’ve stayed at many properties and this is the first time I left early and felt negative about the property and owners. As per the owner’s request, I sent a very detailed email with our experience and issues and the owner only directly addressed a few items basically dismissing my concerns as having ridiculous standards. We left early because the backyard was not as pictured and was not safe for my 5 and 2 year olds. I now see another reviewer said the same thing and I wish I had seen it earlier. There is a steep drop to the river and the one walking area is also steep and slippery. I didn’t find the cleanliness level to be anywhere near where it should be given the price, the cleaning fee and the fact that we are in the middle of a global pandemic. When I complained that there was poop floating in dirty water in the toilet brush holder (no brush inside) for all to see I was asked what I was expecting since it’s a toilet brush. I was expecting it to be clean - just like every one I’ve ever used at any property including my own. A couple pillows were terribly stained and some towels had large holes. Again, things I don’t expect when paying this price for a property. The owner makes a point of telling you how many towels you get so when we had half that I let her know so we wouldn’t be accused of taking any and she replied that what I was given was a sufficient amount for my family. The whole response was rather cold and uncaring. The house itself is fine but for the money you pay, it should be above that. I’d rather give my hard earned money to people that go above and beyond to make people feel at home on their property instead of being treated like my concerns are a bother and being left to feel like I got taken advantage of.
