Nice Property, but needs a deep clean

Enjoyed the stay, kitchen was fairly well equipped. Enjoyed the hot tub. Beds and pillows were decent. Had a nice blackstone. Shovel and salt for the driveway. One thing we noticed was that while the high traffic areas were pretty clean (floors, counters, bathrooms); the less obvious areas were not. There was a layer of dust on top of the refrigerator, including a months old chocolate chip, dust on cabinets and other surfaces. There were spots on walls from spills by the dining table, upstairs on the bathroom wall.

Definitely not what was advertised!

We came here looking for a family getaway to the mountains for the weekend. We arrived to a house that was literally falling apart. No appliances had working lights. Fuses were blown to certain outlets and the receptacles were falling off the wall. Holes in the walls, baseboards falling off, pantry door falling apart, missing closet doors pretty much throughout. The icing on the cake was finding the entire bottom area of the house, where the fire pit is covered with trash, including soiled diapers. This was revolting to say the least. We made the most of our trip but most certainly will not be staying in this home or will this Host EVER again. They should be ashamed of the condition this home is in. It must be better!
