First off when we reached out about the storm that was expected we had no one reach back out to us, then we asked about paying for an extra day and got no response to that as well…the communication has just been impossible!! I don’t know if it’s Ryson or the property owner but the house is NOT properly maintained… almost every piece of furniture was broke , all the blinds were broke and the kitchen was just a joke . The cosmetic damage on the walls was also very noticeable, mold in the shower and on the ceiling. We could not even use the down stairs bedroom because the over powering smell of mold and the smell of something similar to WD40, so that took away a place for a couple that was supposed to be with us not to have a bed/room. This is not the first time we have stayed at a RYSON property and had a horrible experience which leads me to think it might be Ryson and not the property owner but either way I do not recommend booking this property, it was a huge disappointment and loss of money .
