This place is not meant for small children at all. They have tac strips on the floor from carpeting, the floor felt like wax was used, lose vents (our baby pulled it right up), uneven floors, exposed edging, and the outlet covers were falling off. It may be good for fisherman, but I would not bring my family here. We unfortunately left the day we got there and weren't even there an hour before finding too many hazards for our family. The owner was good at communicating but ultimately, it wasn't a good fit. The owner did give us some money back due to our concerns.

NOT ACCURATELY ADVERTISED!!!!! Upon arrival we had no toilet paper or paper towels. We had to fight spiders and webs to get into the place. Only 1 bedroom, 2nd bedroom is the living room with a pull out bed with sliding tented door to give you “privacy” of a room. Slobber marks on the black pillow case. Bathroom door is VERY HARD to close, if you close it make sure someone else is there to help kick the door open, you won’t be able to get it open without help from the other side of the door. MICE POOP UNDER THE KITCHEN SINK WITH A TOILET CLEANING BRUSH AMONG OTHER THINGS (dirty rag, rusty pot, just nasty) We had to use the back entrance, walking past a trash can full of trash and full of water that looked like a science experiment. Next to the “patio” there’s an open space going to a basement maybe with Trash and junk. I have pictures to prove these findings. I could keep going with other things that’s wrong and needs to be taken care of before it’s rented out again. Owners did refund me a cleaning fee as a measure of good faith…. But is fighting about a full refund…. THIS PLACE IS A NO GO!
