Overall our experience and the home was very nice! Our only complaint/concern was that the Lysol smell was overwhelming and gave the entire family a headache. We had to open a lot of windows in order to help with the smell. Secondly, the front door needs to be held and spoken to nicely before she would let us in! Otherwise we had everything was nice and we had everything we could need!
The house was a shell, no amenities whatsoever, including adequate furniture, kitchen utensils and supplies. We rented this property so three adults would have a comfortable place to stay while packing for a household move. Preparing our own meals was a primary motivation. I have stayed in many VRBOs over the years. I have never checked out early or requested a partial refund (which was totally disregarded). The living room had one couch and a tv, nothing elseâno coffee tables, end tables or chairs. We brought our own until we had to pack them and other supplies, at which point we moved into a hotel at significant expense. No bedside lamps and the overhead light in the master didnât work â we brought our own. The kitchen lacked all but a few utensils and very limited pans â not even a can opener (we brought our own). Needless to say, no small appliances like blender or food processor â only a toaster. No ice cube trays and dispenser didnât work. No mixing or serving bowls. No pods for the dishwasher, which likely explains the poorly cleaned dishes â we bought and left some. No garbage bags beyond the one in the can. There was only a partial roll of toilet paper in each bathroom and no backup. There were no dishtowels and only one potholder. Nothing but salt, pepper and olive oil. Only enough laundry soap for departing towel load. Insufficient bathroom linens for three people â no bathmats. The front door code never worked, the garage code only sporadically.
This was an absolute perfect stay for our family. Walking distance of the park. Host was easily accessible and very helpful. Would recommend and stay again!
We wish this new host the best and hope our suggestions will help in finishing the vacation stay - preparing for future guests. Two bathrooms with tubs listed but only one available due to cracked tub. Dishes left in dishwasher - cleaned but not prepared for incoming guests. Microwave, kitchen cabinets/drawers, and bathroom drawers left with food and hair. Dusty throughout the home. Laundry room could use cleaning and or updating of machines. Upon arrival no outdoor lights were on. We were unable to adjust home temperature until host gave code the next morning. Found it unusual a plastic mattress cover was used on our king bed which crinkled every time someone moved in bed and no cover up sheet on either bed. No mention of security camera - but noted a ring doorbell with possible camera at entrance Beautiful home when first arrived late at night in viewing and good communication with host. Good price for our short stay but have higher cleaning expectations. The snacks, coffee, and toiletries provided were appreciated.
The house was extremely clean, spacious, and had a lovely garden. The kids had plenty of room to play, and the neighborhood was really nice with friendly neighbors.
There's a beautiful kid friendly park just a few minutes away with ducks and fish swimming in the water, which was very enjoyable.
The host always responded very quickly, very friendly!
Overall, we had a great time in Mountain Home, and having a comfortable place to call home for that period was essential to our experience.
If I ever visit this town again, I would definitely choose this place again without a doubt...
I highly recommend it 10/10!
