Upon arrival I noticed the front storm door handle broken plus no chain to keep it from staying open, the door lock code was incorrect and had to be reset no biggie but noted. When I entered the house there was a pretty intense odor. We tried to air out the house and it was a little better after a day.
On Wednesday the heater kicked on and the odor was very noticeable, we sniffed around to find mouse skat all under the tv on the floor then sniffed the basket with a blanket in it. It was putrid, The blanket full of skat and urine. We swept up a large pile of mouse skat that was on the floor. The basket and blanket was left outside as it was just disgusting. The smell never really went away in the house and every time the heater would kick on it was right back. This house was the worst Vrbo I have stayed at. If my wife were with me we would have not stayed there.
For the price they are charging I expected the house to be perfect. Rustic but perfect.
The host replied about 24 hours later only after I sent another message.
The reply was slightly slightly disturbing. Dead mice were found in the duct work. Please note, we did not contact the host immediately as we probably should have and hindsight, you get it. No cell service, a busy schedule and just being a few dumb older guys played part in that, just an excuse but in no way would I expect to have dead animals in the duct work. We could deal with a little skat. We are getting back $500 out of nearly $2100. Out of space……….
