First of all, let me say the owner was gracious and communication was excellent. We did not have a good experience with the property but did with the owner. The house is decorated cute with a pumpkin on the porch & on the back porch table and snacks & drinks. There is a cute bar on the back porch, but unfortunately the entire porch area was filthy. Upon arrival, we immediately noticed an odor, some cleanliness issues and overall disappointment with the property, but it was after dark with no hotels I could find nearby so we stayed. The bed was way more comfortable than it looked but I found stickers on the sheets as if they were new and unwashed. The description says “secluded” and “private” but it was neither. The house sits close to the road which curves around the house making the entire house & all the back porch visible to cars. The water is quite a long ways from the house down a much steeper embankment than the pics showed making it not navigable for us to fish as planned. We stayed 1 night, both woke up w allergy symptoms, running noses, itching eyes, & my asthma was triggered. I truly believe a previous guest had pets and the house was not thoroughly cleaned. I messaged w the owner who came to “investigate our claims”. Went to breakfast & the owner msg they would issue a partial refund so we left. The owner immediately refunded part of their net payment (we ended up paying over 400 w taxes, ins & fees for 1 nt) I did appreciate any refund!
