Place needs maintenance

There were some good things and some bad things: GOOD Family room is cozy. Kitchen is well-stocked. Owners are responsive via messaging. BAD Never received the welcome package, despite asking several times. Listing makes it look like the property is on the water - it's actually half a mile away. The faucets smell like rotten eggs. The place needs cleaning. Owners live remotely, so you're on your own if something goes wrong.

Worst rental ever

There was not one positive thing about this property other than ease of getting in. I upon entering it was so musty and mildew that we didn’t even stay there the first two night. Owner told us to run the window air conditioners however one was so filled with dust and dirt we couldn’t use it. The water was sulphur water (which was never mentioned in description)and the odor never went away. My good rings all turned colors, one being a platinum wedding band. The property was listed as waterfront with lake view, not even close! The host offered a partial refund and in turn I said that I wouldn’t write a review but they returned a paltry pittance considering the state of affairs. I wouldn’t have even stayed the other days but my adult kids were coming and we needed a place to stay and no hotels in the area had vacancy. My one son suffers from pulmonary hypertension and thank God he only had to stay one night. We all left congested and feeling il. We need not had coffee and toast while staying there in order to spend as little time possible in this rental. I have been renting properties in Mayfield and Northville for the past 12 years and have never written a review like this. And how they can be listed as a super host is beyond me.
