It was bad enough that we had to go out and buy traps, but they really didn’t help. ##### Andrea P.

Check in was fairly easy. Home was clean and furnished nicely. Unfortunaelty on the first morning we noticed coffee pot was missing and fire pit was unkept (18 inch weeds around it) so called and asked for a coffee pot and for the fire pit to be mowed. We stayed 4 nights and 5 days and neither of the items were taken care of even after a second phone call request. I'm a veteran and came for my anniversary. Could have been a 5 star rating if customer service would have been attended to. ##### matt d.
