misleading and dirty
Review Submitted: June 18, 2009
Date of Stay: June 2009
Unfortunately, this experience was the worst vacation get away we have ever experienced. The pictures and the description were very misleading. I do not believe any one even had been to that property for quite some time. The pier and bar were fillthy. The place was a whole mess. No cleaning had been done in a very long time. When we arrived at the front door I knew right then we were in for a long weekend. The front of the house was dirty and full of trash. The lawn had not been cut in weeks. There was laundry left in the dryer, the washer had gross "stuff" on it and so we never even used it. The sink had clean dishes left in it. The stove and oven were so filthy and had not been cleaned in several years and the refrigerator was so old it was not the greatest either. The floors in the kitchen and bathroom, I don't know the last time they had been swept or cleaned. Cobwebs were in the family room not touched for several months. This place was a total cesspool. The bedrooms, I am not quite sure the sheets had been cleaned and the bathroom toilet ran the entire time we were there. The table mid way down that the picture shows, well the cushions were completely ripped up and molded or just plain missing. There were not any steps of any sort to get all the way down to the pier and dock, you had to climb to rocks and work your way down. Once down, the piers were pretty shaky and getting on them was a trick. The dock below had so many filthy, broken chairs which no one could sit on and the bar to try and utilize it was utterly, disgustingly filthy. We had to call them after the first night to come and try and clean up the property a little so we could try and enjoy our time away. I would never recommed this property to anyone. The owners should be paying for us to stay there.
Owner's Response: Obviously these are miserable people. As anyone can see we have rented this home for 2 yrs and this is the first complaint. We respopnded to their need of new chair cushions and moved the dock for them since it had rained the week prior and there was some tree limbs in the water. We even drove them to another property and let them use the dock there and offered to have them stay and they declined even saying they would like to come back at a later date. The kitchen floor is brand new and the sheets are less than a year and are laundered everytime someone leaves. The grass had just been mowed the week before they came. We are inspected by the Mercer Co health dept regularly and just had an inspection 2 days before their arrival and passed with flying colors as we always do. The trash is removed upon departure of every guest and the majority of the furnishing are less than a year old. These people are obviously miserable and nothing we would have done would have made them happy so they chose to make up lies about the property. We are booked all Summer as we have been in the past and have never had any issues before.
