Cleaned the toilet before using it for the first time. Damp laundry was in the dryer upon arrival. Sofa bed was broken...maybe even mildew on it. Spare blankets in bedroom smelled like wet dog, so I moved them to the breakfast nook and shut the door on that area of the home--kinda like a smell containment unit. Shower handle fell off on first use. At that point, I was so disappointed that I became irritable towards the little things that I normally wouldn't put in a review. Like all the bugs and spiders crawling out of the light sockets at night. There are no screens on the windows, so you either get really warm or really buggy. Grass hadn't been cut in a long time; it was up to my waist. Vacasa manages this property, and I have never been impressed with that company. Bottom line: In over 8 years of renting online and staying in a range of places, from studio apartments, to trailers, to luxury homes, this was my worst rental experience.

We loved the location and the home was really comfortable and cozy. There were just a few little things needed to make it perfect, such as towel rails in the bathroom (we ended up using the curtain rod to hang our bath towels.), hooks near the door or in the back room to hang wet outdoor clothing, and a corkscrew, kettle, and a few more food staples in the kitchen. These are small things. We really enjoyed our stay!

So private and remote. Taking our dogs is important to us. The updates and remodeling make this little home unique with the artistic touches. Very clean, comfortable, and would do it again. Also, our last name was posted on the entry gate! (Same as owners!)

The inside was clean. The outside grounds need a cleanup. We had trouble with the house lock. Left a day early because of lock problems. Saturday night I had to climb in an unsecured window on a ladder to gain entry. We reported the problem to Vacasas. They could not get a locksmith. The house heater does not heat the whole house. House very cold. Housekeeper was very nice. Told us about the unsecured window.

Management was wonderful in trying to remedy the many difficulties. The house needs some adjustments including end tables and reading lights. Bath mat in shower to prevent slippage shower door needs to close. In the end the location is perfect. Bed is super comfortable with plenty of nice linens, towels, blankets and kitchen items. Heaters kept me warm and snuggly. Very close to town while feeling “away from it all”.
