Review Score:   4
Summary: Unfortunately, the property did not reflect the actual condition described by the listing and previous guests.We found hairs in the beds and in the showers, dirty stained sheets and general pests (spiders, tiny flea-like insects in the house etc) and dirty floors. The sheets were very old, extremely worn, and stained with a white substance, which was unsettling and unacceptable.The beds had cheap, uncomfortable mattresses with literal foam pieces on top but over the mattress protectors leaving it exposed to bed bugs.Window AC units in each room were cheaply sealed and the windows were covered with tinfoil! The hot tub was visibly aged and had a duct tape patch on a seat and a large stone “holding down” the filter. There was trash piled up under the back deck, and a makeshift bench was being held together by cinder blocks.In our opinion, the reviews don’t accurately reflect the true condition of the property. We contacted the property manager with our concerns. Their response was that “it’s an old rustic cabin.” While we understand the rustic appeal, that doesn’t excuse poor cleanliness, stained and ripped bedding, uncomfortable mattresses with cheap toppers, or general lack of upkeep. Rustic doesn’t mean dirty or neglected—basic standards should still be met. While a few things were okay, the overall condition of the property felt neglected and not worth the price we paid.
