To say I was disappointed would wrap it up. We have stayed in many rentals. My expectations were, an old, worn farm house that was clean with cooling throughout. Not the case in this house.
The Lockbox is about 16 to 20 inches off the ground, on a post under a platform. It was awkward and difficult to open. There are no hand railings on the steps to the back door or the deck. Steps were weirdly constructed; the treads were narrow and the risers high. Half of the back deck had no railings and more odd stairs. We opened the house door and a warm, musty smell was obnoxious. We aired it out for hours. Later we started the heat pump which cools only the lower floor. A musty smell lingered for days. The bedrooms were hot. Beds are low and not all of them were comfortable. The linens & towels were clean. There was litter and dirt in some corners & closets.
There were A LOT of earwigs in the lower kitchen cabinets, drawers and floor, toaster or dead in bowls and cups. The fridge and counter tops were clean. Many of the dishes glasses, pots, bowls and silverware had food stuck to them. We washed all items before we used them. I didn't expect spider webs with healthy looking spiders earning a good living eating other insects. Instructions on recycling were a little confusing with both typed and handwritten information. We did the best we could based on what we do in our part of the country.
Would I stay here again? No.
