We booked this place because it looked nice. Rustic which is what we like. Skylights, hot tub, hardwood floors, mountain views etc.
Lets start with what we liked...
Loved the interior pine woodwork. Tongue and groove walls & ceiling have a wonderful New England cottage feel to them.
The location is great as it was close to everything we wanted to do. It is easy to find and just off a main road. Road noise was not a problem as by 8:30PM during weekdays there is pretty much no traffic. There is ample parking and the landscaping is nicely done.
However, what was shown in the photos was not what we found when we arrived.
The hot tub pictured is NOT the hot tub on the property. It has been changed out with a different one. The one now in place is old, damaged, and smelled terrible. It was unusable. I own a hot tub and know how they should be kept and maintained. The cover was literally falling apart as you opened it. It had an interesting color to the water which we initially thought to be caused by the shell color. But after 5 mins in the tub, we found out otherwise. Did I mention the smell? It was not useable and disappointing as it was one of the primary reasons we booked this property.
The listing when we booked claimed skylights with lots of natural lighting. WRONG! All of the skylights were blocked and appear to be permanently covered over. None of the skylights were visible. There was still daylight in the front rooms but the property description and the photos were not what was actually there.
The amount of dust located on the living room ceiling fan was disgusting. The AC unit looks like it hasn't been cleaned in years. The lighting fixtures in the bathroom were caked with dust, only 1 of the 3 sink lights worked, and the one that did work kept flickering because the entire socket was loose.
There is no carpeting. It's a laminated floor...which was ok but is not what was written in the description (and which is different from the photos). Also, the bathroom shown in the advertisement photos is not the one you will find. But it was in decent condition.
I am sure the owners will provide some reason for the deficiencies we mentioned. Whatever the reason, it will be insufficient. This felt like a bait and switch. What was advertised was NOT what was provided. The property description was not accurate and the photos are not reflective of what you will find.
Buyer beware.
