Upon first glance, this property seemed to have everything: large house, multiple beds, a game room, and even paddle boards and kayaks to explore the lake. Although it seemed like a wish come true, it was not. After getting settled in, we noticed that the house had not been properly cleaned prior to our arrival (aka lots of spider webs and dust, dirty bathtub, etc). Despite the hiccup, we were still happy to be there and could handle a little mess. What we could not handle was the lack of security the house provided. As we went to sleep, we noticed that we could not turn on the alarm. We contacted the property manager the following day regarding the alarm and were told, "Guests are not given access to the alarm. You can utilize the door lock." Upon further questioning, we were connected with the home owner, who told us much of the same. After explaining our discomfort in the household and desire to dispute the payment/reservation, we were told we would be evicted that day if we proceeded to do so. Due to our refusal to be blackmailed, we were ignored by the owner for the remainder of the trip. We completed our trip, despite feeling quite dissatisfied and concerned for our safety the entire time. Upon our arrival in our own home(s), we came to discover an escaped prison inmate had committed violent acts towards an entire family not far from where our rental home was located. While that alarm may have seemed rather unimportant to the homeowner, the communication and aggression we received from her affected how I am writing this today. Simple things such as a clean home, clean dishes, and a safe house make all the difference between 1 or 5 stars. I urge people to be cautious when looking at this house, any house, and to get all the facts before booking.
