Arrived at the house with grass about 1.5’ high a car parked in the front yard, mildew on the front door and porch and a strong pet odor. I thought, let’s give them the benefit of the doubt. As you walk in to the house you can tell that a lot of money has been spent on the house. Nice furniture and nice light fixtures. However there were children’s toys still out everywhere and didn’t seem like much effort had been made to make it friendly to who might be occupying it. We noticed some sugar ants in the kitchen which isn’t uncommon but as we explored a little further there was a load of dirty dishes in the dishwasher. And the washing machine had clothes running in them. We assumed that we were responsible for swapping those clothes out. As we went out to the back porch there was more mildew and pet hair everywhere and a grill that had not been cleaned in sometime. Also the lawn next to the water had not been trimmed so after contacting the owner about the conditions it was very clear that he was not going to address the issues. So I brought a weed eater and trimmed the grass in the area that we would be using most. We cleaned most of the porch off and moved the toys to the side so that we could easily maneuver in and out of the house. Other than this the refrigerator was mostly full so we kept our food in coolers For the duration of the weekend. We made a commitment to make the best out of the weekend but it could have been a little less stressful if some of the things had been addressed before our arrival.

Had a great time, all we had to do was make a grocery run and we were good to go for the week! Owner was very responsive to any needs or questions. Yes there are security cameras however there were clear instructions to unplug them and plug them back in when leaving, not a problem. Rented a boat at the local marina and just enjoyed the lake!

When we arrived at the house, we could not gain access through the front door because the door lock was not working properly. We were eventually able to get in through a door in the back. As we walked through the house, it was obvious that the home is the owner's full-time residence. The maid service was unable to come prior to our visit, so the house was extremely dusty and unkept. There was clothing on the floor in the living room, and personal items such as: an Apple Watch, Men's electric razor, suitcases, etc. in the Master bedroom and bathroom. The kitchen had dirty dishes in the sink, and the refrigerator was filled with the homeowner's food thus there wasn't room for the food we brought for our trip. The washing machine had wet sheets that smelled of mildew, and the dryer was filled with clothing. We did speak with the owner. He apologized and offered to send someone to clean the house the next day; however, we didn't want to spend our first full day at the house dodging a housekeeper so we opted to clean the house ourselves. In addition, the A/C didn't adequately cool the upper level; although, the basement was comfortable. We were also very uncomfortable with the amount of security cameras throughout the house specifically in each bedroom. They were even mounted on the bunk beds where our children were to sleep. From the pictures on VRBO, this appeared to be a great place for a family weekend. We ultimately cut our trip short, leaving after only one night. We tried to reach out to the owner to discuss our dissatisfaction. He just reccently responded, two days later via text only offering a reminbursement of the cleaning fee. We had planned this as a Father's Day weekend getaway, and although we did enjoy the lake, the house was sadly a disappointment.
