Gem needs some polishing
Review Submitted: October 10, 2009

This is my first time writing a review, but I was so disappointed by this house that I'm compelled to write. While the house is nestled in the woods as the picture shows, the photos don't fully represent the state of the house. The first floor bedrooms and bathroom suffer from Cape problem of mold. Knowing this (our third summer in Truro), we had asked and owner assured us it wasn't a problem. Owner did provide dehumidifier but automatic shut off didn't work so it overflowed and covered floor in water. Freezer door doesn't close without a concentrated push (so easy to leave ajar) and dishwasher rack needs wiggling to close and several lights not working. Other inconveniences indicative of house were going from 3rd floor master bedroom to first floor to shower, since shower is turned off on 3rd floor and no hook to hang towel when using outdoor shower. A small investment and a good handyman could make house more enjoyable. We were sorry to be so disappointed.
Owner's Response: In twenty years renting there has never been a problem with mold. I felt very sorry when that happened in August, and it was fixed immediately.
I can provide references for future tenants from tenants who were at the house after these tenants who will attest to the fact that there is no mold.
I appreciate the other helpful suggestions and we have made these minor changes, as it's so important to keep the house a comfortable and enjoyable retreat for guests.
