I rent homes from VRBO and various other ways about 6 times a year and I feel that I have a good sense of what to expect when viewing the pictures. The house was as advertised from a location/beds/amenities. However, it was a little dated and some of the rooms and definitely have a bug issue. To be expected in Durango and we didn't mind as it had the number of beds that we needed for the weekend and we weren't picky.
Also, during our stay, the homeowner, not the property manager came into the house when we weren't there. We had just left for the day to go to the mountain to ski. He left a note that the house was "Trashed"... We couldn't locate the trash bags that first morning so we ended up going to the store to buy our own so we could remove the "Trash" once we got back from the mountain. But instead of being respectful of circumstances, the homeowner decided to leave 3 separate condescending notes for us while we were away. The other note dealt with bringing a chair from a dining room table to the patio so we could have enough chairs to sit outside on the deck. Eric the owner felt it necessary to leave a note saying "Do not put MY indoor furniture outside"... Again, understanding circumstances, its kinda weird...
Being an avid renter of VRBO's I have never experienced this before and am honestly appalled that the property owner would come into the house during our rental stay without notice and then proceed to be so unprofessional.
Plenty of nicer better options on VRBO don't risk the inconvenience of a snoopy owner rummaging through your stuff when you are away.
