HORRIBLE RENTAL!!!!!!!!
Review Submitted: July 21, 2008
Date of Stay: June 2008
First of all this house is not set up for renters and definitely not fit for children under the age of 10. The owners manage this rental and it shows. They have “stuff” (CD’s, magazines, papers, files, nick-knacks) crammed in corners, behind chairs and anywhere there is space behind furniture. From free weights left on the floor in the loft to prescription drugs left in the bathroom drawers, these people have not taken the time to make this house “renter” friendly. It is a nicely constructed home and spacious, however completely ruined by the lack of time the owners have put into decorating and cleaning it up for renters. Also there are rude computer print out signs everywhere in bold letters reminding renters not to use or put things back exactly the way they found them. Treating us like we are irresponsible teenagers! Which I can assure you, could not afford this home.
The biggest issue, however we had, is that there are two homes being built across the street. One of them is DIRECTLY across the street and the other is a few doors down. We were woken up EVERY day (except Sunday) between 6:30 – 7 am!!!! The owners never warned us about the construction and when we requested one nights rent returned, they told us that the construction isn’t allowed to begin until 8am. Had we known that, we would have gone over and spoken to the construction team. Regardless workers began showing up between 6:30 – 7 am and were extremely loud. Also there were no less than 10 - 15 cars parked on both sides of the street and someone was always coming and going… We rented the house in early July and I would say that both houses under construction will not be finished for at least 3 – 4 mos.
We were extremely disappointed in our stay and have only pointed out the major issues we had, there were many more small problems we encountered as well. This house was expensive to rent per night and definitely NOT WORTH IT. DO NOT RENT THIS HOME!!!!
Call me if you want any more details –

Owner's Response: The condition of our home is excellent. Many guests love the home and return every year along with their small children. References from other guests are available on request. Most of this reviewer’s comments simply are not true. Almost every wall in the home is decorated with very expensive, large paintings. A lot of time and effort has been put into the décor with high-end mountain furniture and furnishings for a warm, homey feeling. The home is professionally cleaned every week. We have notes, magazines and books in the home which guests appreciate. In this approx. 5000 sf home, owner has one separate area 2’x4’ for personal file cabinet and private items on shelves. We do have CD jackets in the master suite stored behind a love seat until completion of a cabinet. Personal bathroom drawers are locked except the guest bath where owner has left shampoos, conditioners, first aid, etc. The exercise room has a few pieces of equipment and two sets of weights. We have parking for 6 cars on the premises. Two homes which were under construction are near completion, one across the street down to the lake and one down the street. These are not homes next to us. A few weeks ago they were addressing final finish work in the interiors. Little noise is heard and only intermittent. Work cannot begin until 8 am by County Ordinance and they leave early. Our home is also virtually new and extremely soundproof throughout.
Had we known these guests would be so destructive, we would not have rented our beautiful home to them. Besides giving the owner a check that was no good, they left the home in complete disarray, transformed one room into a nursery and left it that way, forced open a locked bathroom drawer, left food and spills all over the floors, cabinets and in furniture. Items were missing and they ruined a high-end comforter that will have to be replaced. If you would like more information, please email the owner or call us.
