We rented this homne for a girl's weekend and were looking forward to enjoying our time together by the lake.Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing in several ways.We were given specific entry instructions via lockbox. Upon arrival, the lockbox was opened and the key in the door and the front door was unlocked as well. With 5 women arriving at an unfamiliar home in the woods, we were understandably alarmed and genuinely concerned that someone might be inside. We searched the house thoroughly, including closets, under beds etc.. I reached out to the owners.We learned that someone had apparently been at the property to change lightbulbs and may not have secured the house. While we understand that mistakes happen, the situation was frightening. As a current VRBO Host myself, I understand the responsibilities involved in preparing a rental and welcoming guests. Guest safety, cleanliness and communication and comfort are all important parts of providing a positive experience.Unfortunately, after further home inspection, it revealed considerable dust (I'm highly allergic, currently sick because of it) cobwebs throughout as well. The fireplace wasn't in working order and the home was 50 degrees inside when outdoors it was 40 and the thermostat appeared to be restricted in the main living room/dining/kitchen area, leaving us wearing our coats indoors while trying to get comfortable.The home has a lovely lakeside setting.
