Could use some improvement
I don’t like to ever leave a negative review but want to inform future guests of what they can expect. Overall the property worked out fine for our trip but there were several things that definitely could have been better. For starters, the main living area of the house smelled overwhelming like mothballs. I inquired of the host and was told they had cleaned the HVAC so we guessed that maybe it was some sort of cleaning chemicals instead but either way it was super strong and hard to overcome. It was so strong you could actually smell it from the driveway before you even walked up but was strongest in the bedrooms but the downstairs game room didn’t smell at all so it was puzzling. My other major complaint about the property was how dirty/uncared for it appeared for advertising it as being “renovated”. There were dirty handprints on the wall, dirty smudges and heavily damaged paint, a toilet with a broken flush chain, and mouse poo in the game room bathroom. The front door was a bit tricky as it required two hands to twist both handles at once. And having different keys to get into the different rooms downstairs was inconvenient but ok. The game room was nice, though we didn’t realize you had to go outside to get to it until we arrived. Overall bedding seemed clean and we had a good stay after a few days when we started getting used to the mothball smell. Great location and potential to be a great house with improvements to the smell and cleanliness and overall care.
