When we arrived, we noticed the house is in desperate need of home maintenance repairs. The gate by the driveway is missing, the roof soffit and trim is rotted, and the house needs to be painted and get some TLC. It looks very run down. I was under the impression that the house was right by the river and the fire pit. I did not realize it was so far away/ felt like a different property. There were dead roaches in the upstairs bedroom. My family and I had the pleasure of enjoying the stink bugs walking over the tv, walls, and floor. I get that we are in the mountains, but they really have an exterminator come every month. The master bathroom by the toilet smells like sewage. The master bedroom shower head needs to be changed and felt as if I was bathing at a campground. The sewage smell did not help the feeling. The shower head desperately needs to be cleaned or replaced. The water shoots out everywhere. There are absolutely no cleaning products to clean up a mess. I made eggs and bacon for breakfast and the only thing I had to clean off the kitchen counter was dish soap. I had to check every dish to make sure they were clean before I used them because I kept finding dirty dishes in the cupboard. There was a mouse running around the living room in the morning and went into the owner's closet. The house needs a full deep clean. The master has a weird, musty smell on the bed. We did bring our own bedding and after I made the bed with our bedding, my head started hurting once I laid down. The worst one was the dust/mold or something in the crawlspace or the duct work that made my daughter, husband, and I wake up with the absolute worst congestion. We were fine before we went to sleep (we stayed outside for a large portion of the evening) but in the morning, none of us could breathe through our noses. We went to Food Lion to get decongestant medicine, and before we were even halfway there, our sinuses cleared up. When we returned to the house about an hour later, we all were congested again within 30 minutes.
After talking to my family, we all decided that we did not want to stay at the house another night and rather just drive the 5 hours home than deal with mainly the sinus issues/critters/smells. We are very disappointed in the house. I do have to say, the only bonus to the place was the fact the kitchen did have everything we needed and it was nice. That was the only good thing.
