The property was great, the home was beautiful, well kept, and in a great location. However the host made the booking process very difficult, to the point where I wouldn’t likely rent with him again. First, it is important to note that although the listing lists the house as sleeps 10, the host reached out several weeks after the booking was completed to inform me that it only has room for 6 adults + “2 small children” and threatened to cancel the rental just weeks before our stay when alternative options were then limited. The house has plenty of room for 10 people. This host requires a separate rental agreement (outside of Vrbo) along with a rather large deposit or mandatory insurance. He also questioned my integrity and respect when I asked clarifying questions regarding the agreement.
Upon arrival the heat did not work and the host told me I was wrong and the heat was working fine. The house smelled of propane, the furnace was ice cold/silent and all the vents in the house were cold. After a long exchange and several phone calls, he finally admitted he was wrong and had propane delivered and the furnace checked at 11:30pm as we were trying to get to bed. After the propane was delivered the heat began to work as expected. It is important to note there is a lovely fireplace that produces heat, although it does not heat the downstairs.
After these initial hiccups our stay was great!
