Excellent Location, but it goes downhill from there. The previous reviews have similar complaints about the house being dirty and not well maintained. It is TRUE that the house is still in bad shape. Both the management and owner are taking advantage of the location to lease this property at a premium (top dollar), but they are not willing to take care of the property. The property is gross. Here is the list (which I sent over to the PM during our stay, which the PM won't own up to and the previous reviews have the same complaints). A POTENTIAL RENTER SHOULD BE WARNED that it is a steep price to pay for a home that is not maintained.
There was none of the following:
- No hand soap (we purchased our own)
- No cleaning supplies to wipe down counters or kitchen table and the rules say that the counters and tables should be wiped down
- No laundry detergent
- There were NOT enough towels. There was only one wash cloth. 3 hand towels for bathrooms. There were no hand towels for the kitchen. There were 10 large towels for 9 people.
- Only one roll of paper towels (which was partial used)
- There was one little dish soap container, but not enough for 5 days or 9 people staying in the home.
- No kleenex. Only toilet paper
Kitchen should be stocked with the following:
- No oven mitts. We had to use a bathroom towel.
- No Lemon/Lime squeezer
- Many utensils are broken
- The oven has not been cleaned in years. It smokes the entire kitchen when using it. It needs a deep cleaning.
- Pots and pans were dirty from previous occupants. It was really gross
- Dishes were dirty and coffee mugs are still stained with coffee
House cleanliness was a complete miss:
- Under the cushions were food (potato chips, goldfish, dog hair, and dust). The cushions are old and not cleaned.
- Floors were not clean as our socks were dirty by the first evening
- Toilets were not clean
- There is no vacuum cleaner to do a quick vacuum during the day
- Carpets are old and stained
Maintenance:
- Window in the downstairs bedroom does not have a latch. Snow blows inside
- Light bulbs were out in several locations
- Beds are old and uncomfortable to sleep on
- The upstairs is chilly without using the fireplace (we did not bring any firewood). The sliding doors close with a piece of wood. There is no latch, so water and condensation leaks through the doors and the doors are not sealed well. So the upstairs feels pretty chilly.
- garage door on the (right side) does not work.
