Pros
• The size of the home was great for a family of 12 to be able to come together and the kitchen easily accommodated entire family
• There was plenty of dishware and glassware
• Location and gorgeous view of the Toccoa River
• Owners were usually responsive fairly fast
Cons
• Not a “true” 7 bedroom as advertised and should be better described in the listing. There are 3 TRUE bedrooms. There are 4 loft-style rooms that are more suitable for children, unless they are short in stature and have no physical challenges that would prevent them from climbing up and down a small ladder
• The house was not very clean: 1. There was hair, a dead bug, dirt, and what looked like black mold in the water and ice dispenser area; 2. The kitchen table was dirty – Using a crevice tool to clean the grooves is an easy solution for this; 3. Some of the dishes were dirty, and some of the drawers where the dishes and cookware are stored were dirty and one had hair; 4. There were spider webs in numerous places – outside on the cowhide chairs, the grills, the bedrooms, and on the outdoor furniture. It’s understandable that being surrounded by nature this is a natural occurrence; however, with guest checking in and cleaning being done prior to guests checking in, there should not be a significant accumulation if the home is cleaned the day of or same day guests are arriving; and 5. The hot tub did not “seem” to be clean: It’s possible the chlorine used for hot tubs has changed but the smell was very, very faint, and the pink ball in the hot tub was extremely slimy to touch
• The water pressure was low, and the water was not very hot
• Toilet paper was not provided in every bathroom at the start of the treat
• Simple repairs are needed
o Light fixture in kitchen is slightly hanging in honeymoon suite
o Side entry/exit for game room/loft rooms has a fixture that is slightly hanging
• The house MIGHT have a mold problem. The smell or a very similar smell to mold was prevalent throughout the house (visible in showers), refrigerator around ice maker, top nightstand drawers in the honeymoon suite, and other areas
• The kitchen did not have any cooking or eating utensils. This is important to know PRIOR to arriving. The “honeymoon” suite had these items and had to be taken over to the main house
• The honeymoon suite’s lock was extremely loose
• One of the main bedrooms did not have working heat
• The handle to both the washing machine and dryer were broken
