Pee stains on old worn out mat at front door, next to hand-printed 'Take Your Shoes off Sign"! Broken shower head, holes in wall, smelled of urine and mold, filthy indoor rugs, dirty towels on filthy dirty bathroom floor, bloody used sheets left on bed, garbage piled outside, garbage left inside camp cooler, owner/operator rude when she arrived two hours after we left numerous messages, the four reviews on her site were all false. The place was a dump and we were not offered any compensation, apology or help by Jennifer, owner/operator or VRBO. I doubt this review will ever be read by future guests. Such a shame. ![Pee stained carpet at front door next to 'Take your shoes off' hand printed sign!](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/4d2b1a10-f46f-4997-b525-6b6c61ead955-1761086137004.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Broken shower, couldn't be used if we dared step into the filthy tub](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a25e59f5-4665-4f04-be4c-e94841694c11-1761086131605.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Dirty tub on filthy bathroom flloor](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/99d3e444-9397-4a2b-ba4e-17fa2d67dd77-1761086135248.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Unmade bed with bloody sheets](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/97b2e531-65df-4560-b4fc-34fbc206b3b7-1761086135598.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Anthony B.
