*Reviews are usually what I book an Airbnb on, so here’s an honest and genuine review.
I am a travel nurse and we drove out here from Wisconsin for a nursing contract, and this Airbnb has been the worst experience of our entire time out here.
If you want an accurate, clean, comfortable place to live, do not rent any place under Annette. She has a very manipulative way about her where she will act like she is giving you a deal, doing you a favor, or being genuine, but she isn’t. She comes off “sweet” and tell you about her charity work and how much she cares about people, but doesn’t care about the tenants she rents her place out to. She has 4 sheep, 4 aggressive dogs, and 10 chickens in the backyard that are not mentioned in the description. Twice her large Great Pyrenees dogs attacked our Berner and her daughter witnessed the event. They did nothing about it and continued to allow the dogs to roam free so it made it very difficult to let our dog out to go to the bathroom. They growl, bite and bark. They also bark throughout the night and are left outside in the yard so it’s very loud. The sheep poop everywhere and Annette just leaves a broom by your door so you can sweep it up. It attracts flies and smells awful. A few months into our stay we started seeing mice in our room. We found out we had mice because I woke up with mice pellets (poop) on my leg. I was completely horrified and instead of Annette being present, apologetic, and handling the situation, she tried to blame us for bringing mice into her place. Instead of buying traps and being available for pest control visits, she made us pay for the traps and my husband had to take off 4 days of work to be at the unit. She did nothing about the mice for 21 days and we caught 9 mice in traps in our room. She admitted to doing nothing about it and in short told me that people in Afghanistan are going through much worse than having a little mouse in their house. She completely neglected to handle the situation. My husband ended up getting very sick which we think was because he was handling the mice so much. We told her about his symptoms: fever, chills, GI upset, etc. and she said nothing. He had to take another 5 days off of work for the illness. We asked her for a refund because of all the days of work missed and because we wanted to move out and find another place to stay and she told us we had to do her farm work and take care of her animals if we wanted $500 back.
During all of this she never notified the tenants that are renting other units in the house and she proceeded to rent the place out immediately after we left. All of her units are in the same house, so if our room has mice, so do the others. She ignored pest controls advice on how to fix the problem and only wants peoples money and labor to help her manage her animals.
Please don’t fall for her “kind” nature. She is nothing more than a calculated old women that manipulates her tenants. Take care of yourself and yourself loved ones, and don’t stay here even though it’s a great location and a “good deal.” You will check out with nothing but a bad deal.
