The house is beautiful with a lot of nice touches and upgrades. The master bed was really comfortable and the shower was awesome! The location couldn't be better...we loved taking our granddaughters to the river to throw rocks in!
However, there were a lot of things that were missing or sub par. First of all, all of the other vacation rental homes that I have been in have provided a "cheat sheet" to fill you in on how thing operate in the home. This one had nothing. It would have been very helpful to know that there was a thermostat control for the gas fireplace (it wouldn't light like the one I have at home and we could never get it on), that the washing machine had a reservoir for detergent (there was no detergent in the house so I bought some), and that the faucet in the hall bathroom sprays water all over the place if you turn it the wrong way (which happened multiple times).
Additionally, there were absolutely zero basic cooking supplies. I had to purchase some nonstick spray (which I left for the next renter). I also bought salt and pepper but eventually found some salt on the table (but no pepper). There were NO kitchen towels or dish rags or even trash bags. How can you not have any kitchen towels or dish rags in a kitchen? I ended up buying some of those too. Also, the hand soap ran out at the kitchen sink and I couldn't find any refills. The washing machine told us that the detergent was low but there was no way to fill it up. Luckily I had already bought some detergent. And, there was no dish drainer in the kitchen! Yes, there was a dishwasher, but there were lots of things that we also hand-washed. I had to borrow a couple hand towels from the bathroom to serve as a mat to drain them on. The comforter on the downstairs bed looked dirty with makeup stains on it. Luckily we found another comforter in the closet so we could wash the dirty one. The upstairs loft bed had no bedding. My daughter had to just use the comforter that we washed as her only cover. And, the pillows in the upstairs bedrooms were pretty flat and uncomfortable.
So, while this is a really nice house with lots of upgrades and a fabulous location, there were definitely several shortcomings that really put a damper on our stay and makes me question whether I would stay in a Vacasa house again. Oh...and I sent two emails on the Vacasa app Sunday night after we realized what we were missing, but NEVER got a response.
