WARNING!! HORRIBLE Host & FILTHY House!! From the top:-Wrong directions to get into the home.-No A/C-Most windows do not open (broken handles)-Strong musty smelly finished basement-Broken fans-Broken toaster-Missing window screens-Dishes, cups and refrigerator filthy-Stains in master bedroom floors-POOP/URINE STAINS ON BED SHEETS!!-Contacted host about getting into property due to inaccurate entry directions. Replied fairly quick.-Contacted host about broken fans. Was told cleaning crew is far away and for me to get them. This was after many hours went by and I had to reach out to find out they were going to do nothing.-Contacted VRBO after my stay and the host lied to them by saying they were going to order fans by Amazon. Lies.This property is not well maintained. Cleaning crew doesn’t clean well either. Treated like a party house. Totally gross!!

We have a high review ratings on both VRBO and AirBnB, so it is hard to believe your experience is so different from the over 100 other guests who have enjoyed this home. We wish you the best on your future travels.
