In desperate need of maintenance
This could be a very nice place if they would shut it down for a week and do some serious maintenance. While there were a few small things reported that the management team took care of quickly, other things, need serious attention and are not something you want them working on while you're trying to enjoy your time away. 1. Reported-The downstairs bathroom had a bad smell. It was reported and maintenance checked it out. The bowl was busted. We did tell them not to worry with it while we were there, as we didnt require that bathroom. 2. Reported-There are several really weak spots in the dining area as well as one of the bunk rooms. In my opinion they are dangerously soft! 3. Reported-The refridgerator had random fits of beeping-never figured out what the issue with it was. 4. Reported-The microwave wouldnt heat. 5. Not Reported-The wheels on the right side of the bottom rack of the dishwasher are gone, so you have to pick it up to load/unload. 6. Not Reported-The elevator/lift did not work. All of the cable was in a pile at the top. 7. Reported-1TV remote was missing and the other didnt have a battery cover. We did have to have housekeeping provide batteries. 8. Not Reported-The grass needed mowed really badly. 9. Not Reported-The entire exterior needs to be pressured washed! The exterior door and concrete are filthy! 10. Not Reported-Lots of trash in the ditch and yard(coke bottles,chip bags,etc.), however it was extremely windy and storming at check-in.

Beware
We drive more than 5 hours to stay here for spring breaks We had a group of 14. When we arrived and got inside we discover they haven’t cleaned the property at all. And I mean a basic cleaning wasn’t done. Beds were unmade, trash was still inside, dirty dishes in dishwashers. Dirty towels were in the bathroom. Blood drops were on the sheets. I contacted the property owner. They sent a cleaning lady. We waited close to 2 hours for the cleaning lady to show up. We leave her there and We left to get food, get back and discover she only made the beds and took out the trash. No proper cleaning was performed Then I try to warm up my leftovers. Microwave doesn’t work. Oh also discovered only certain outlets work in the house. Contacted owner and he sends someone who can’t do anything for the outlets or microwave. The door knob in the playroom/bedroom came apart. Door leads outside. This was where the we had kids staying. This is was a major safety issue. All in all basic expectations were not met.
