I would like to preface this review by saying this place is not the most aesthetic home I've rented so far but it is functional in its way. The owner of this property can make some changes and instantly improve the look and feel of this place.
I would like to start with the strengths of this place:
The owner of this property is easy to reach, and they respond to all inquiries promptly. The house accommodated my entire group and still had places to sleep. The grill worked great, the propane tank was full and grill utensils are available. The pool is 4 feet deep and refreshing. The jacuzzi was very relaxing to sit in, and worked as intended. AC available on the 1st floor kept downstairs at a comfortable temp.
Now for the weaknesses:
We were sent a message with quite a few rules, which I was all for because I assumed I would be met by a house in immaculate condition. Unfortunately, that was not the case.
I'm not sure where our cleaning fee went into.
One of the rules of the home is, "no shoes indoors". The house was not swept, and I immediately felt debris on my feet. A moment later, the soles of my feet were black. We ended up cleaning the floors ourselves. The broom and mop are conveniently placed next to the kitchen in a recessed area. The kitchen counters were not wiped, luckily we came with our wipes and wiped down all the surfaces. There was dust, spider webs, and faucet grime. The cabinet doors are not in the best condition, so be gentle. The pool is uncovered so prepare to clean the surface of the water. There is a pool net available. There was dirt settled at the bottom but the pool is placed on gravel and dirt, it's bound to happen. The stairs of the pool do not feel secure, it wobbles as you descend. Please use with caution. I found a random area full of huge chunks of glitter, yet another instance of not knowing where the cleaning fee went into. The fire pit was great but we could not use it for much longer because it's extremely close to the woodsy area and there was a bear out there. The fridge might have been unplugged before we got there because our food and drinks did not chill until the next day. The bedrooms can get warm, and not all fans work. The fan I had rattled against the floor when on.
I suggest the owner should pass by and do a quality check for cleanliness. Move the fire pit closer to the home, fence off the woodsy area, and have some solar lights.
Overall, good enough for a weekend getaway.
