The first two days we were there, we had a "feeling" that someone had been in the unit while we were gone. Nothing major to put our finger on except that some blinds we left open were now closed.
On the 3rd day it was confirmed. We left for breakfast but my teenage daughter stayed back to work on homework. She called from the bedroom about an hour after we left and said a man was in the house! I called the VRBO manager who said nobody should be in there and I said they needed to contact him immediately and tell him to get out as my daughter was terrified!
When the manager called back, they said the owner denied being in there. Then at the same time he claimed that maybe his son had come in to look for a game. Even if his son came in, that's not ok, but it was a complete lie. My daughter heard HIM. When she saw him she ran upstairs to her room and he took off out the door. SKETCHY.
Let me be clear, if there was good reason to be in there, he would have at bare minimum announced himself and then done what he needed to do. We did not stay the last night because we were too creeped out by the owner, who lives in the adjoining house.
Stay here if you want someone creeping on your stuff while you are gone.
PS I would have given positive stars for cleanliness, location and all of that, but I didn't want to bring the star rating up because there's no justification. Great location, loved the little hike just up the road.
