We have been coming to the area for decades & generations, but we have never come in October so we decided to rent this beautiful home for 9 of our family. We were surprised by many issues upon arrival. Dead gnats in the bathroom, each toilet had a pinkish film in the toilets we had to clean & flush several times to get it gone, urine around the toilet in master bathroom and dust behind tvs and vents. Seems like it hadnt been cleaned or freshened up prior to our arrival despite paying $400 fee. We know they may say we never let them know but our daughter did reach out to them asking if there was rat poisoning in garage since they brought their dog. The host txt back forth more concerned that we had not paid for pet fee. Our kids were not sure if they were bringing their dog, yet answered their questions and they charged our c/c for fee yet never even answered her question. We did also ask if the hot tub was cleaned recently and they did send someone out to do that, which we appreciated. The things we thought should have been dealt with for the cost of the house was: the light was out at front door, the shower head in up stairs bathroom kept falling off, there was no blinds in the master bedroom facing neighbors and a camper right on ground level. Also no screens on those windows or on ones upstairs by bed, seemed dangerous if wanted to open them with kids. The basement was clean but had a weird odor, like mice. The kitchen although big and pantry, had many things unusable. The pans were so cheap and teflon scratchs so bad which is so dangerous, we would not eat out of them. We had to buy our own to use or use the crock pot instead. There was no cookie sheets, the can opener was so cheap and so hard to use, we had to buy these. The main tv in living room has speaker blown, it works but gets staticy. We were all very disappointed the dock was pulled out. Thats the main reason we come to MN and we brought our boat but could not even use the lake we were on with no dock, yet neighbors on both sides had their docks out. The treadmill needs the belt tighten so it could not be used like we wanted to. We also didnt understand why no lock between kitchen & garage. With not having a key, we were concerned if code to get in changes? We could of txt the hosts but we did not want to be spending all our vacation time txting and having repair people come each day. We did enjoy our stay we just wish these things would been usable for the cost of our stay.
