All of the rugs were filthy and you should really replace them. No one wanted to go outside and sit on any of the furniture as they were so dirty with dirt, leaves and stains. There were cigarette butts on the ground. There weren’t enough supplies in the kitchen. Could use more tea towels and paper towels. The dish washer was broken and we tried twice to run it but nothing cleaned properly so we had to hand wash everything. The middle bathroom shower had very low pressure and the knobs were not tight to turn off . I was a bit embarrassed as I was the one that made the final decision for your house. The pictures vs what we experienced were not the same and l would say that’s false advertising. I just hope that you send someone to look and test all of the appliances and plumbing. Here’s a few more photos as I have already sent some. I really didn’t want to think about the house and its problems as I just wanted to have a good time with my friends. I definitely would not recommend your house to anyone. I’m sorry. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e2bdaede-4cf5-42ea-90d8-562ad86d7b5c-1757349462541.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/39ba9250-b040-4d69-a7fb-2341d22ea9ad-1757349463153.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9d4bb609-33d6-44eb-9bc5-3df935633438-1757349460598.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1490717f-32d2-4ae8-b63e-70d3842ad706-1757349463279.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Stacy T.
