6/10 Okay

Liked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy
The outside definitely needs to be cleaned up there was weeds everywhere. Couch has a good size rip in the corner cushion. You have to take your trash with you. If you leave it it’s 25$ per bag which was kind of annoying. The 3rd bedroom and 2nd bathroom was not attached to the house so that was weird. Other than that property was clean except for a TON of mosquitoes outside but the host can’t really do anything about that. Hot tub was nice you can see the lake a little bit from the property. Overall nice property I’d stay again if they cleaned the outside of the property up.

4/10 Poor

Liked: Communication
Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort
I would not stay here again. There were several issues that put a damper on the trip. The heater in the main room is EXTREMELY loud, making it hard to sleep in the main house. The trashcans on property were completely filled when we arrived leaving no room at all to leave our trash until we were responsible to take it to the city dump. There was a large crack/shatter in the mirror of the main bedroom which made using it risky to use and avoid further damage. Ceiling had a leak with the rain and flooded the man hallway with water. Sent the property messages with the response of “we have work orders to fix that”. Just frustrating overall as this was a family Christmas trip.
