We have rented more than a dozen properties over the past several years and have never had an issue… until now. This property is the perfect example of a rental “bait and switch”. The pictures on VRBO are VERY deceiving, as upon arrival we were greeted with broken, stained, and worn out furniture both inside and on the porch. There were black blobs in the sink which we were afraid to fully investigate and which led us to believe the house hadn’t been cleaned. Other parts of the cabin were also dirty and we were so grossed out we were too afraid to sleep in the bed.
We left within half an hour of arrival.
The owner failed to provide us the code to get in prior to arrival and we had to text and call in an effort to get that. AFTER check in we were told there is no ice maker, to please ignore all the stink bugs, and that any guests (including a couple we hoped to have to the cabin for Christmas dinner) would be an extra charge. Upon texting the owner letting her know we were leaving due to the property being unsatisfactory, she said she wished we would have called and she would have rectified the issues. Well, unless she planned to change out old furniture, steam clean the numerous stained cushions, re-cane chairs and clean the place from top to bottom then there was no hope.
It should also be noted that the cabin overlooks a family cemetery and a dilapidated house.
VRBO contacted the owner to work out a refund. She did not respond.
A terrible experience.
