Accuracy on description on website- tv and dish listed but no dish or use of tv. Outdated and unusable dvds we’re left
WiFi listed but not available - owner cancelled WiFi during COVID. We were told to use coffee shop in town which closed at lunch and not open weekends. Cellular service costly to me and sketchy while in house.
Cleanliness- stove top greasy and grime on burners. Only 2 pots usable- caretaker brought in a new set after we informed him
Shower curtain in master bedroom moldy. Caregiver handed us a new one which we had to put in ourselves.
Coffee maker unusable due to built up grime inside and out. Caretaker bought a new one for us
Big issue with odor as we first entered home. Improved but lasted throughout the week despite using air conditioning and fans, and keeping doors open . Old house yes, but obviously needs thoough cleaning. Metal screen doors need a scrubbing. Perhaps replace carpet in living area. Leave doors open before guests arrive to air out place.
Next time we visit will look to stay elsewhere.
Sorry to leave this review. In a small town where options are limited this house could be a gem if it was cleaned up. Sorry owners had a difficult time during COVID with rentals. Last signed guest book was in April, and before that in 2019.
