Beautiful Home with A Lot of Deferred Maintenance and a Rodent Problem
This is a beautiful home that has sadly been neglected and has several maintenance needs. I read reviews when looking at renting it originally and thought for sure the items that mentioned needing fixed in May of 2021 would have been by December of 2023! You might think, well you get what you pay for. But, the price listed on this VRBO is not what I paid.
Mice:
Yes, it is out along the river, but the second we walked inside the house we found a dead mouse.
There were mice scurrying around in the kitchen during our stay and in upstairs bathroom along with mice poop in the shower/tub.
Safety:
When we entered we also discovered the back door was wide open and leaves were blown in. The house was 50 degrees. The back door does not lock nor does it close properly. When the wind blew it would open. We had to blockade it.
Maintenance needs (worth mentioning)
The front gate to the property is falling apart.
Several window handles were broken.
Towel rack in downstairs bathroom was broken (my husband fixed it)
Most importantly the kitchen sunk sprung a massive leak. My husband looked at it to fix it but parts were missing on the pipes. So we couldn’t use it.
Things to consider:
There is not a fully enclosed yard for the dogs. There is fencing around the property but the front gate is compromised and if your dogs are explorers keep a close eye on them.
The shower/tubs are difficult for the elderly. Not a place for an aging Mom and Dad or Gma and Gpa.
