Newly updated and looked just like the pictures. However, there was a strong odor of mildew throughout the lower level that they tried to cover up by having multiple plug in air fresheners. There was a problem with bugs in the kitchen (even found a bug inside the microwave)and in the large bedroom upstairs. It is advertised as having air conditioning, but it is only in the bedrooms. The days we were visiting, the temperatures were in the upper 80's and lower 90's. The thermostat read 88 degrees in the main part of the unit at one point. There was a leak under the kitchen sink, and inadequate window coverings. Up stairs bathroom had no curtain and lower bedroom only had a sheer in the window.

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. I’m truly sorry to hear about the issues you experienced during your stay. This is not the standard we strive to provide, and I deeply regret that we fell short in several areas.
We will be addressing each concern immediately:
• Mildew Odor: We’ve scheduled a professional inspection to identify and fully resolve any source of moisture in the lower level.
• Bugs: We are bringing in pest control for a thorough treatment of the property, including kitchen and bedrooms.
• Air Conditioning: We’ll update our listing to clearly reflect the AC setup, and we’re evaluating options to better cool the main living areas.
• Maintenance Issues: The leak under the sink will be repaired immediately, and we are adding proper window coverings to ensure privacy and comfort.
We truly value your input as it helps us improve for future guests. Please accept my apologies again for the inconveniences you encountered.
Thank you again for bringing these matters to our attention.
