Weirs Beach Vacation Rental house

We were disappointed in this vacation home during our stay in July 2008. The exterior of the home was very dirty and unkempt. There was spare furniture on the porch, the paint on the outside of the house was peeling, the Romeo’s Balcony sign was rusted and broken, and there were cobwebs with dead insects all over the front porch. The porch railings were so questionable that reminded the children not to lean on them. The interior was very shabby. While it was clear that the kitchen was cleaned by some type of service prior to my arrival the extremely old furniture and linens made you doubt how sanitary those pillows, bedspreads, couches, and carpets might be. As the advertisement states, the house is large and the location is the heart of Wiers Beach is perfect and the view of the lake is wonderful, you have to be disappointed that this historical house has been let go so badly, especially when compared to the other historic homes in the neighborhood. There were obvious attempts to maintain the house – there were new fixtures in the bath, there was a carpenter there every day (yes hammering and sawing during my vacation) rebuilding the death trap that were the steps down to the main street, and on the second or third day “new” furniture from a local yard sale was brought by the local caretakers of the property. The condition of the house at this time might be better suited for a bunch of college kids with lowered expectations, but if I were to stay again, I’d have to request a price more appropriate to the condition of the house or see new pictures of the house showing the improved conditions.
