Manque beaucoup équipement

Pour commencer, les bacs de poubelles et recyclage était pleine. Le propriétaire nous as dis des fausse information sur les attractions au alentour. Le propriétaire nous a mentionné d’amener nos couvertures et serviette. Cela aurait dû être fournis - il n’y avais pas de tapis de douche, serviette pour essuyer la vaisselle, serviette pour essuyer les mains et pour laver. - pas de coupe de vin en vitre et n’y d’ouvre bouteille. -pas d’ouvre canne nous avons dû ouvrir avec un couteaux… - pas assez de chaudrons pour faire un spaghetti familial. Nous avons été dessus de devoir débourser autre argent pour des articles de base manquante. De plus, l’eau nous a rendus malades. Le filtre du frigo n’étais pas changé pour l’eau et glace. Cela goûtait le Vieux. Nous ne pouvons pas ouvrire les fenêtres de la maison, cela sentait beaucoup le renfermé. -la sauna n’était pas fonctionnel. -la bonbonne de propane n’est pas fournie…. Le propriétaire t’avise a la dernière minutes de t’en procurer une. Nous avons eu un problème de fausse septique aussi, Nous sommes déçu.
