We rented this property for a relaxing girls weekend. I messaged the host 3 times the week leading up to arrival asking about an early arrival and never received a response. When we did arrive, the dishwasher was still running and we had to empty it, and the towels were still in the dryer, which we had to fold to use. Not a huge deal, but for the amount of money they are charging, annoying. That night, a bear broke into the trash box. We messaged and called the host, no response. We had to clean up 2 trash cans of trash strewn about the driveway. A neighbor stopped by and told us that this trash box gets broken into multiple times a week but has not been replaced. We had to call VRBO to try and get in touch with the host, and even when VRBO called them, there was no response. Finally we got a call back and someone was sent to fix the trash box, but they did not take the trash. Naturally, the bear came back the next night! We once again asked for the trash to be taken out and it was not. We ended up keeping all of our trash bags in the house the whole weekend so that the bear would not be tempted by fresh trash.
The hot tub had some issues and we were able to fix it when we finally got in touch with the host. The heat lamp on the front porch was out of gas. The property itself is fine, a little outdated but was in a good walking location from town and plenty of beds. Overall, for the price they are charging, we expected basic services and communication. Really disappointed.
