LUXURY CHÂTEAU STYLE HOME

When I see all five star reviews in sites like this, I expect the house to be five stars! Maybe I'm just a "hotel snob" who usually rents 4-5 star hotel rooms and not houses, but I wouldn't even give this place four stars! When we first walked in, we were amazed at all the space. However, there was this misty smell and we could not figure out where it was coming from. We went in the kitchen where the smell was pretty strong! There was an old looking sponge left in the sink that was damp and we found the culprit. It stunk up the whole house. Whatever, we threw it away. Then, we wet into the living room. There is a rug under the coffee table. It was FILTHY!! As we're all the carpets in the house. Then we all heckled out the bedrooms to see who was staying where. The beds and quilts were old and dingy. Not as clean as the looked in the pictures. The mattress pads were disgusting! There were all sorts of stains On there. I threw away our sheets that we brought from home before we left. The walls were stained in little areas with what looked like squished bugs and in the bathroom that wa attached to our room, there was a blood stain on the shower curtain. The hardwood floors were filthy, the garbage can (although this may not seem like a big deal to some) was completely filthy. Supposedly there is a housekeeper. In hope he finds a new one because she's a terrible housekeeper!! Even after getting rid of that nasty sponge, the house still smelled. We told Leroy before coming to make sure there was propane in the tank so we can bbq. What he failed to tell us was that it was up to us to fill the propane tank. When we asked him why he didn't tell us, his response was he didn't feel like getting into it. He was then nice enough to come and go into hi garage to give us a filled tank. He apparently stays not too far away from te house on the weekends. During the week he lives in another state. He then tried to charge us $75 for a broken curtain rod. We have a picture of our kids standing in front if that curtain right before we walked out the door to come home. It as still fully intact. He said he would give us a full refund on our deposit. He wound up keeping $25 of our money and called it a "processing fee". This was no where in the contract! If you want five star, do not stay here. The house needs a thorough cleaning, all of the holes patched and some fresh paint on the walls! Find another home!!

What can I say about this home that was not already stated. It's a very lovely home. The layout was good, as it offered our family 4 full bedrooms, an office converted to a bedroom/den and a loft area, with plenty of bathrooms to spare!
During our stay we ran into a few issues, and the homeowner assisted us as best as possible, and although our vacation was cut a day short due to heating problems with the home, Leroy, not only apologized for the inconvenience it caused us, but offered us a discounted weekend to compensate for our problems. The home was clean and well maintained. The only complaint would be is that all of the bathrooms did not have carpets in front of the showers, making the floors a bit slippery when stepping out of the shower. That could create a safety hazard. Overall, everything was great and can't wait to visit this home again!!!

Thanks Leroy!

This is such a beautiful house and the homeowner was so kind throughout the process! Our church fellowship really enjoyed spending time there! It's a great get away and I would highly recommend this place! We also especially loved the kitchen. We really enjoyed cooking and using the two high-tech ovens!
