We booked for a peaceful getaway, drawn by the listing’s promise of a pool and hot tub—confirmed via screenshots. The pool never existed; the listing was quietly updated after we asked. Misleading. No hot water or gas on arrival—no showers or cooking. Gas restored next day. Hot tub stained, unusable. Outdoor shower missing showerhead & no privacy curtain & had no sink (as pictured in listing photos). Showers are moldy, fire pit unusable, yard wild with scattered rusty tools. Kitchen faucet hose hangs loose and sprays water all over. On our second night we were finally looking forward to being able to cook since we had gas however, we were quickly disappointed when we, we found mouse droppings in the kitchen including on cooking tools—a serious concern. After reporting issues— the host reported that we brought a pet, we did not. The listing says it’s dog-friendly, and under VRBO policy, guest are not required to disclose a service animal. A 10-min call with host before arrival revealed that neighbors share a driveway right along side of house. With no privacy and the outdoor shower fully exposed, its worth mentioning. We were surprised by the positive reviews. While the location is peaceful and surrounded by woods, the home is in clear need of updates, cleaning, & safety checks. It’s not suitable for those needing reliable amenities. We hope this feedback helps future guests make an informed choice & encourages the host to invest in much needed home care and transparency.
