Very Poor Experience with VRBO

Upon arrival to the property there were other guests in the house. The property manager said “I’m not sure how they got in, but we will move you to another house” not only did we NOT GET THE HOUSE we reserved, they moved us to another house owned by the same people that was not as nice with no compensation. We found clothes from previous guests still in the beds and the floors were gross. When I confronted the property manager about it after the weekend, he said I would get my security deposit back and offered a discount on our next stay….almost one month later I still have not received my deposit back and probably won’t according to customer service. DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!

July ‘22 River Trip

Location of the house is amazing with river access. We had great neighbors. We brought our own floats got in the river and floated down to Float house then shuttled up river and floated back to the house. Bringing your own linens is a pain but doable. The house itself was not cleaned very well last inside or out. Floors were disgusting could not walk barefoot or your feet were black!!! Toilets had not been cleaned. We found about 7 half drank water bottles under beds from the previous renters. No trash bags provided for trash we had to go buy our own. Overall we liked the house for location but will probably not stay again since not cleaned properly and having to pay a cleaning fee.

Disgusting house, paying for location only

This is hands down the most disgusting home I have ever had to pay for. I don't think the house has ever been deep cleaned. The water smelt so horrible! It was like rotten eggs. The floors and baseboards are covered in dust and dirt. The A/C vents and filter have not been cleaned or changed in years. The vents are not only covered in dust but mold! Black mold! We rented this house to see family and have Thanksgiving dinner there. The cabinets in the kitchen were filthy. They were sticky and the dishes/utensils were dirty! We even found a plate with food that was left on it and placed back in the cabinet. The food was left like that for so long we had to soak the plate overnight. I'm not sure what the cleaning fee is for since we had to clean it ourselves before using the house. The rug in the bathroom smelt like urine and the shower tile was gross, we showered with flip flops on so we were never barefoot on any floor. I have pictures of everything. I did not speak with the owner because after reading all the reviews almost everyone mentioned how dirty it was. If they did not care enough to reach out and change something after all that I doubt me complaining would do any good. So I wanted to write a review so someone else might be better informed before spending money on this disgusting place. It is sad that the property is in a great location but the owners do not care about the quality of the home. There is so much potential of they gave the home more tlc.
