Disappointed
I wish I could give VRBO more than 3 stars but I can't. Though we had plenty of space for our group, the space was not as enjoyable as it should have been for what we paid.
After we booked and paid, we were informed that the owner lives in the basement with 2 small dogs. As cancellation was not possible at this point, we hoped for the best. This should be disclosed on the advertisement for the property. But instead, it is advertised as "no pets allowed", so we assumed that there were 'no pets'. We would not have proceeded with booking had we known this.
The dogs are clearly allowed in the upper parts of the house; they were there often as we came and went. The house smells of pet dander and the carpets upstairs were stained yellow in several places. One evening, we tried to enjoy the common area, but the dogs howled and barked incessantly from behind the basement door while we watched television. This carried on til late in the evening.
The house is quaint but needs updating and, more importantly, a deep-cleaning.The hard-wood floor in the kitchen has been removed in a significant walking area, causing a hazard, but this was covered with a tarp-like mat, instead of replaced before they had any more guests. The carpets upstairs need replacing, due to their age and the amount of visible stains, likely from pets. Every towel and facecloth smelled musty, and you could smell it on yourself after washing your face or showering. The kitchen wasn't particularly clean, and evidently the owners use it as well. This deterred us from using it for our own cooking in the evenings. The house also needs dusting badly; in one room we wiped a cm of dust that had collected on top of a picture that was easily seen at eye level as you walked past it. Some of our group did struggle with allergies, likely due to pets and dust.
Her breakfasts were, overall, very good. However, she was not prepared with items that come naturally with a gourmet breakfast (i.e. pancake syrup, ketchup for meats and eggs). The food she cooked was very tasty, though, and she provided plenty.
The owner is very personable and friendly and we do think the property has potential to be a really great B and B with attention to these details.
Overall, this bed and breakfast met our most basic needs of a place to stay, but it was not good value, and was lacking in so many of the areas as noted above. I am disappointed in VRBO and will not use them again.
