Les points faibles : Propreté
The setting of this house is beautiful, right on a nice lake with a dock for a boat. Knowing that many lake rentals can be rustic, I was willing to pay three times the going rate when I saw it advertised as âluxury living.â To protect ourselves, we booked and paid in full through Vrbo rather than accepting the ownerâs offer to pay less in cash off-platform.The property isnât terrible, but it is nowhere near the standard youâd expect for a luxury rental at this price. We were assured of privacy and exclusive use, but on arrival, the owner informed us a âcaretakerâ would be on-site. When we pulled in, two people were sitting on the dock with drinksâthe caretaker and a guestâwhose cottage was right next to ours.We were also told to expect flying insects, which didnât bother us since we live in the woods. What did bother us was finding the house full of daysâ worth of dead bugs, sticky spills on the kitchen floor, dirt and hair in the fridge, hair in the bathroom and shower, and cobwebs on ceilings throughout the house. I ended up vacuuming on day one just to make it feel usable.The house simply isnât luxury. It lacks air conditioning, a washing machine, and even closets. Linens were cheap, pillows were flat, and geese took over the yard and dock. While the lake itself is lovely, the overall experience fell far short of expectations and value. We ultimately felt uncomfortable and left early.
