I stayed here for 2 nights during my wedding at a nearby venue, and it has been the worst experience I have ever had with an airBnB host. I am completely traumatized and hope no one will have to go through what I did. Please save yourself the headache of trying to fight off a $790 cleaning bill, and stay somewhere else.
She made false accusations regarding the condition of her home when we left. She made false claims that we had a party, said the floors were full of alcohol and grime, claimed we moved furniture around, and claimed the house smelled of cigar smoke to justify charging us an additional $490 on top of the $300 we already paid. Ironically, her home is for sale, and I am inclined to believe she is making false claims to justify getting her home detailed. Most surprisingly, Rhonda planted a cigar she found outside the home (I admit we did smoke cigars outside), and placed it inside the house to justify getting her floors, curtains, and furniture detailed. Luckily she had sent us photos, because we were able to point out that it was the exact same cigar in all the photos and that it had clearly been staged. Rhonda also claimed we had a party based on the tray of food, and extra bottles of champagne and a few unopened beers that were left out on the patio - even though we had 6 guest staying at the house and had ordered enough food for our 2-night and 2-day stay. She also claimed the additional cleaning fee was because we had "moved furniture around" - even though all the photos she sent was a few misplaced pillows, and an ottoman that had been moved to the hall. She claimed false damages to her furniture but could not provide photo evidence of this. She claimed we rented tables and chairs at the house, even though I had to personally call the rental company during my honeymoon to debunk her accusation (which I did). Outside of some left over food, drinks, and wedding decorations/flowers that we had brought back to the house, the house was left in great condition. The photos she provided, ironically, showed just this. I gave her an extra $200 cleaning fee for the extra garbage disposal, but mainly to get her to stop harassing me during my honeymoon. This was a mistake because she continued to ask for more, I refused and opted to get airBnB involved in this dispute. She has been the most dishonest person I have ever met in my life, and sadly I had to deal with this the day after my wedding, and throughout my honeymoon. In retrospect, I should have looked at her past reviews, because I am not the only one who has experienced this same situation.
She will likely respond to this post in retaliation, but be weary with what you read... she loves to make false claims for her own gain.
