The check-in time was 4 but we got there at 3 because we were traveling from MD and arrived a bit early. When we arrived there was a car in the parking spot, we thought it was just the cleaners. My boys, 9 and 11, love being on a lake so they immediately went down the steps towards the lake. Right before going down my son said "It smells like skunk". They quickly came running back up because a man was on the deck. He didn't even turn around so I didn't think it was the owner. I immediately called the number on listing, no answer so I left a message. About 10 mins. later a woman called saying she's the ex of the owner, but wanted to know if we were ok. By this point we were in the house and the man walked around the house and got in his car. I was looking out the dining room window to maybe take a picture of the plate and that's when he looked at me and waved. Needless to say, I was very creeped out and worried about my family and our stay especially since the porch door was left open. I eventually got in touch with the owner and he didn't seem concerned about the guy on the deck. Plus there isn't a deadbolt on the front door. We've stayed at MANY properties and this is the first time I didn't feel safe. The property also needs improvements. The last few steps to the dock are just unsteady rocks without a railing. The steps also has lots of poison ivy sticking through. We couldn't even access the canoe because of overgrowth and the paddle boat was practically under water.
