Longtime friends reunion

The house was welcoming and nicely furnished. Big kitchen where we all helped to make meals. Nice dining area for us to sit and visit. Two things that would have been nice to have, instructions on how to work the TV and more chairs that could have been pulled up to the dining table. We were so impressed with the the rental agent who responded so quickly with our every question or request.

Had to cancel Party paid extra 350.00

Arrived at the property the lock code that was sent to me didn’t work. Had to call to get another lock code but almost didn’t get it cause service was horrible. Finally got in it was so hot. (If you all knew people were arriving then why not have the air on atlas’s 6 hours so home could cool down it’s summer time)Upstairs shower was not working properly so everyone had to take a shower down stairs. Have asthma and couldn’t adjust the air because of the smart meter that is in the home. Called to see if someone could adjust it to at least 70 but no one answered on numerous call attempts. The floor boards on the upstairs patio are old and very weak in certain spots. Was super scared to walk on them. Refrigerator didn’t get cold until the second day there in the afternoon. So majority of the food I had that is supposed to stay cold didn’t ended up having to go buy more food. Ice maker didn’t work was forced to buy ice. Had one ice tray. No supplies to clean the kitchen or wash the towels so had to go buy Clorox and washing powder along with dish detergent and dishwasher pods. No towels to even wash dishes so I had to buy some just to clean the dishes that didn’t fit in the dishwasher and to wipe down the cabinets. Couldn’t host party on fear that someone would fall thru the balcony upstairs. Totally cancelled it. Other than that it’s a good spot to fish.

Make do

The property wasn't worth the cost of the stay. The pictures made the space look more appealing than it was. The furniture is old, the beds look like cots, the tvs are miniature, the blinds were crooked looking, the master bedroom tub was sanitary imo, one of the rooms lights wasn't working, the closet doors were flimsy and to top it off I had to kill roaches. I requested a refund with the host, but they didn't return my msgs in regards to me being unsatisfied with my stay. And when they did msg me back...they never addressed any of my concerns instead they asked me to put their trash and on the curb since it was "Trash Day". -5 stars. I DO NOT recommend
