However there was a leak that occurred more than a week before week booked, were not notified of said leak, and could not enjoy our stay due to the mold like stain growing from the ceiling in direct proximity to the air supply/ heater for the house. Reported to property manager and they were fairly dismissive of our concerns. Would appreciate a call from VRBO to discuss. ##### Joe D. Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Anne S.
