Disappointing
This review is based on not actually being able to stay at the property for more than a few minutes. GPS was unable to get us to the exact address so someone had to sort of guide us when we got close. When we arrived we could barely make it up the drive to the house because of the overgrown plants and trees and our van was scraped by the plants for much of the way up. When we voiced our concern about it, the host just told us it was the legal width for a driveway and couldn’t have cared less that our car might get scratched. Once we got in the house, the caretaker told us there were several cats around the property. Some domestic, some not. We were told that the cats didn’t go inside the house. As we were moving our bags in, one of them ran in the house, which suggested to us that they do go in the house. Unfortunately 3 of the people in our family are highly allergic to cats. As soon as they got into the house, they started having reactions. Also, the house smelled heavily of mildew, which didn’t help either. We only stayed for about 15 minutes in the front room while we decided what other options we had in the middle of the night and then left with all our things. When we contacted the host the next day, he was unwilling to work with us or give us any kind of refund, which is his right, based on the cancelation rules. But it was disappointing that we didn’t know about the cats and that it became our responsibility instead of the host’s.
