First, I would like to say that I have NEVER left a negative review for any of the VRBO rentals I have used over the years. But, this one was really bad. I am not a priss, I can handle staying somewhere rustic. But at this price, I also want it to be clean. Cleanliness is always priority one for me. And this place was a disaster.
Pros: The property is beautiful. The view of the river is really nice.
Cons:
There is a pump or something similar on the dock that is so loud you can't sit there to relax.
The outside eating area, which is under a gazebo, is so filthy. There is old food, dirt, etc all over the table and chairs. We used the chairs one night and I covered them with towels because they were so dirty
The actual rental was very very dirty. I don't know if the host does her own cleaning but if she has someone else do it, she should find someone else. The floors, baseboards, shelf under the sink were all disgustingly dirty. There was dust and dead bugs on the TV shelf (which I hit with my head because the table and chairs are right under it)
The bed is massive. Like ridiculously tall and very difficult to get into. The nightstands are also comically big. On one side of the bed, the nightstand was so close to the bed, you could easily hit your head in the middle of the night. We had to move that nightstand and a coat rack with curvy feet that was just outside the bathroom door. Serious trip hazard.
The shower floor was dirty. There was hair and who knows what else, in the corner of the shower floor.
Ultimately, we didn't enjoy this stay on our 2-week motorcycle trip. We wanted somewhere clean to rest and recharge. Instead, we ended up with a very dirty and very overpriced rental. We definitely will not stay here again.
