The layout and space was nice. Furnishings were nice. Kitchen was well stocked. The house could have been cleaned better. Hairs found in bathroom and when searching for something, realized there was a lot of dust and debris under family room furniture. Outside cushions were really soiled. Beds were really soft--painfully so for our backs. There was no extra toilet paper provided. No soap was provided for showers.
Location is excellent! Lake, beach & local restaurants were a short distance. Very clean & homey ! We had no issues except that the fridge did not seem to hold it's coldness, but when I informed host, she sent out maintenance right away & actually came down herself & rectified the problem. Would highly recommend!!
Overall the impression of the property was as advertised. The only problem we encountered was that this was supposed to be a smoke free location and the master bedroom smelled like cigarette smoke. The smell wasn't horrible but certainly noticeable.
First, we fot there at 4:30, about 30 minutes after check-in and the cleaning lady was about to leave. She had a load of sheets in the dryer, which she informed me. The place was really nice. However, there was a pan with pizza still on it in the oven and the microwave was dirty inside. The gas grill is completely unusable. This was a disappointing fact because we were looking forward to grilling out. I ledt the place clean and respect that sometimes things happen. We will probably book again.
The back deck is a great place to enjoy family time. There was overpowering air fresheners perhaps prior renters smoked. Ice maker in frig doesnât work so we just bought a bag. It would be nice if garbage cans werenât already overfilled when we got there. Location is very nice.
We were staying there because my daughter's bridal shower was held in West Liberty. The property is great, and we loved being able to have a whole house.
It was perfect for what our family needed. Wish it would have been nicer weather so we could enjoy the deck. It was a little windy due to Hurricane Helene. We hung out in the garage while cooking where there was plenty of seating.
We really enjoyed staying at the house. It was a perfect size for us. We loved the living room area, the well stocked kitchen and the seating arrangements throughout the house. As far as cleanliness. We werenât too impressed. There were breadcrumbs on the toaster and on the counter and gnats in the refrigerator . In the bedroom where the large bathroom was there were at least three maybe four receptacles that werenât working. I already mentioned that to the caretaker so that he could fix them.
House worked great for our needs. Attended a family wedding and had to care for the elderly grandparents that live nearby and shuttle them to the wedding also.
Our first VRBO experience was a good one with some minor snags
The property was clean and comfortable, and it was a great location to see the eclipse. There were a few minor issues and inaccuracies in the description. There was no cable or satellite TV, just streaming. Most of the master BR plugs did not work which was a challenge for my CPAP. We only found 3 bikes not 4 and the tires were in disrepair. The main room overhead light was not working. The shower knob in master bath came off when you turn it. A few other small issues like that. Nonetheless, I would not hesitate to stay there again if we are in the area.
Bed were terrible, super lumpy and soft. Carpet was old, dirty, they had to have pets living there at some point and it wasnât put on the listing. Two people in my family are allergic to cats and dogs and had reactions. Two super aggressive dogs next door outside at all times barking and growling at kids and us, trying to jump over fence. I texted host about issues and never heard back. Tv in bedroom was connected to internet but nothing would load. Tv in bunk bed room is dvd player only, the listing said all tvs were smart or had connect-ability. It wasnât terrible but it wasnât great.
This house is in a nice area. It's the 2nd row from the lake but it's a short walk to the lake.
Cleanliness- very nice
Amenities- having coffee pods available (and quite a few) is very nice. A TV in the main room and two bedrooms can be nice but the remotes weren't labeled and only the one in the main room worked. Probably batteries but if you are coming home in the evening you can't just call someone to bring batteries.
Three windows were unlocked and slightly ajar so they aren't checked. For security, please do it yourself.
The kitchen is not well lit.
The caretaker was very responsive when I asked for additional towels and he immediately replaced a smoke detector that someone removed. I hope it was a recent thing.
If you can handle little annoyances, it's a great place.
