While the owner of this property is very helpful and responsive, the property itself is in drastic need of maintenance.
In its VRBO photos, the farmhouse appears to be in an open, sunny field. It is not. Based on the full-grown trees and shrubs that currently block the view, the photos in the listing are at least 10 years old.
1) It leaks when it rains. These are large puddles, not drips. The wood around the skylights is rotted and discolored from previous leaks. In several places, plaster was falling from the ceiling.
2) The main entryway is via a patio of large uneven paving stones. There is no outside light. We arrived in the dark and left in the dark, and it was extremely hard to avoid tripping.
3) There is a semicircular cut-out in the kitchen floor to allow the door to open. This unexpected drop in the floor is not marked in any way. We all tripped, and one of us was badly injured.
4) The second bedroom loft roof is so low that there is only a few square feet where you can stand upright. The railing is just a few pieces of thin wood. If this house is rented to families with children, a deadly fall could result.
5) The low entryway into the sitting room has a sharp stone edge that is not marked in any way. The owner remarked that a previous renter was hospitalized after walking into it.
6) The bathroom sink drain and shower overflow and the bathroom is infested with pillbugs.
In its current state of disrepair, this property should not be on the rental market.
