The state of the property was completely unacceptable and deterred us for enjoying our stay.
Let me start with the fact that we do not believe that this house should be rented as it currently stands. It is *not* clean and pleasant, and does not feel safe (in fact may actually not be, but regardless perception prevails here).
Upon arrival, there was an unpleasant smell in the entire house: musty, old, unclean, and a disgusting smell on the top floor: kitchen, main living room, master bedroom. It smelled like fish/rot.
The stove was not properly wiped and the cabinets were all grimy with years of use without ever being cleaned.
There were nails coming out of transition floor boards by the entrance and someone stepped on one without shoes on. Luckily, they didn't get hurt but we had to spend some time pushing the nails back in.
While we didn't expect much, the kitchen was making basic condiments (salt) and other random spices were expired.
The beds are uncomfortable old spring beds with squeaky, unstable bed frames (especially in the bottom floor bedrooms).
The pillows smell musty and finding one that wasn't stained/dirty was a challenge.
The bedding is rough and scratchy, and again not worthy of the cost per night for this place.
Having decent linen is probably the lowest bar for vacation rental.
The house heater of the bedroom adjacent to the hot tub did not work and the space heater was barely enough to heat up the room.
The bedside lamp for this room was also broken (missing the knob to turn the light on).
The recreation room:
We flagged that the ping pong table had a broken leg. The moment we started playing it fell apart. We had to put it back together in its precarious state to be able to use it.
The toilets seats are all stained/scratched and simply feel gross.
The hot tub qas broken in many areas and fixed with tape (!).
