This is an old, beat-up property that has not been carefully restored. Only the cheapest and most minimal efforts have been made to make it rentable. It is unattractive and it looks like the owners just bought the cheapest stuff they could find. The heat and the TV do work, and so does the Wifi, but that’s all we could say that is positive.
Outside: There is no off street parking allowed. The back entrance was unusable because snow was not shoveled and was frozen onto the porch.
Living Room: The picture online shows armchairs that were not actually in the room. The furniture was cheap, worn, and uncomfortable, especially the couch, which has large sections of padding missing from the cushions.
Dining Room: Two out of the four dining room chairs were so wobbly they could not safely be sat on. The whole place was full of cheap “decorations,” including fake plants, some with leaves falling off and some with the price tags still on. Only one lamp for the entire living room/dining room area.
The stairs to the upper level are steep, non-standard width, and covered with dirty old shag carpeting. No one with any kind of mobility issue should stay here, and it is not appropriate for young children because of the condition of the stairs.
Bedrooms: The beds were comfortable but there were not enough blankets. One bedroom has a rickety dresser; the other has a closet with four hangers. We asked for bedside lamps ahead of time; on arriving we found a good lamp in one bedroom, but a broken lamp with no shade in the other.
Bathroom: The shower can’t be used by anyone tall as it is under a slanted ceiling. It is just a handheld nozzle on the wall. The nozzle hose leaked and the shower hook came apart. There are broken tiles on the floor and walls. There was not even a box of tissues, and only two rolls of toilet paper were provided for a 5-night stay.
Kitchen: The handle on the refrigerator door was broken and the freezer had a bad smell. What appears in the pictures to be marble countertops were in fact plywood with tacky, poorly applied contact paper in a “marble” pattern.
Communication: Most owners provide their guests with a booklet of instructions for parking, checking out, etc. Not here. We received the bare minimum of information in emails and had to ask for checkout instructions the day before we left. We have stayed in lots of places with VRBO and this is the worst. I would not recommend it and would certainly not stay here again.
