We booked this vacation rental to host our family that was visiting from out of state. We wanted a nice lake house with a hot tub, close proximity to the lake, and a little on the nicer end. For the price, we would have been much better off in a couple hotel rooms... here’s why:
1) The beds are horrible. Even the children complained. We spent Saturday looking for a place to buy foam toppers so we could get some sleep the second night.
2) The pillows are like tortillas. They were maybe an inch or two thick at best. They clearly bought the cheapest pillows and mattresses they could find and put them in this house.
3) The coffee pot took 40 minutes to brew one pot of coffee.
4) The sink cabinet door was broken so when you opened it to see if there was any other soap of cleaning supplies, it practically fell off
5) One of the bar stools has loose screws and luckily none of us tried to sit on it. We definitely would have found the floor.
6) There is a skunk that lives under the deck and WILL TRY TO ATTACK YOU if you go outside at night.
7) There are birds that live above the front door. The love to poop on you when you walk inside. Good welcome present!
8) There are red wasps right next to the front door. Fun times!
9) One of the couch beds is broken
10) The hot tub wasn’t working and had overheated. According to the error message, it had faulted out 14 days prior to our stay. It was 110 degrees when we arrived. Yikes! This was the main reason we booked this house.
11) Last but not least, they will only allow you to put the thermostat to 72 degrees. For some that’s great! But when you’re paying good money per night to be told what temperature you can set the thermostat to is a little annoying.
Just a warning for folks with small kids- there are stairs and the main living room is upstairs along with the master bedroom. I understand it’s for the view, but I wish I would have known this because we spent most of our time baracading the stairwell so the babies wouldn’t fall.
We were very thankful to return home to our comfy beds and actual pillows. I am not a complainer and have never written a negative review until now, but I felt like I needed to warn anyone else that is looking to book this house.
