I was very excited to come here for my birthday with my friend. It was my first time traveling since Covid started. First of all, this is in a great location. The check in was simple. When we opened the door it was a lot smaller and darker than the photos. Initially it smelled clean in there, but as I walked over by the area rug I smelled urine. We walked downstairs and the smell of urine on the carpets was beyond overwhelming. Yes, my sense of smell is better than most, but my friend smelled it too. If I had a black light I guarantee there would be urine everywhere as dogs are aloud here. Once one dog pees, others will mark. I know the smell of dog urine. I am a dog trainer as well. I don’t know how the cleaners don’t smell that. It was awful.
I text the property owner that the smell of urine was nauseating and he actually got extremely defensive and said the property has been cleaned thoroughly and he can have someone come to see if they smell it. What good would that do? He then said if it makes us so sick then he wants us out of there because he doesn’t want anyone staying in his property if they feel that way. He offered to refund us, but I didn’t appreciate his attitude. All I was thinking was where the heck are we supposed to go? I then found myself saying we will just deal with it. Luckily I had the master upstairs. My friend ended up sharing that room with me which I didn’t love, but the smell of urine made her sick too.
The house is cute, but not a luxury property by any means. I took a lot of pictures, but apparently there’s nowhere to upload them here. The moulding throughout the house is cracked, scratched. The stair railing is wobbly and the wood is all scraped off. The master shower fills with water as you’re showering. The walls have paint that is scraped off, the wood flooring is all messed up, the doors have paint scraped off. There are cobwebs on all of the lights. The plug outlets are dirty. I have pictures and videos of all of this. I will find a way to upload them.
The outdoor space was the most pleasant part of this home. Lovely lake views. The outdoor lights did not work though with the remote that was hanging on the door, so we couldn’t use them. I will say I asked the property owner if there was a ride service on the mountain and he said no. I tore my pcl in my knee so I could not even walk to the village and we wanted to drink and not drive anywhere. I found out the next day there are a few mountain car services.
