This is a lovely house on a beautiful lawn, and pleasant in so many ways; HOWEVER, the fees on the site (shown as $189/night for 3-4 people) didn’t match up the charges totaling $630 for 3 people for 2 nights. Make sure you know what you’re agreeing to financially and prepaying on your credit card. We thought we did, but were wrong.
The gas fireplace wasn’t functioning and the older electrical system wasn’t able to handle normal circuit loads, including the much needed area heaters provided by the host. The fuses tripped both nights in the 2 bedrooms that had heaters, even after the host came on Saturday to reset the system. When asked, the host was unwilling to discount any of the $630, saying it was unnecessary to make a financial adjustment. He’d “had to make an “extra” trip to reset the breakers and give additional (verbal) instructions on how to avoid tripping the fuses. Those “instructions” are certainly not outlined in the Guest Guidance Book, as that would be an admittance to having an antiquated electrical system.
Despite our efforts to reconcile the account and make things fair between us, the host’s decision was to be penny wise and pound foolish. He even implied that we caused the electrical outage because the fuses blew out again and that’s “never happened before.”
The host wasn’t accountable, nor did he take responsibility. ÛRegrettably, we would not rent again from this host.
PS: We suggested to him that the third room have a comfortable bed, not a hard futon. With that improvement, the house is suitable for 3 people max, unless there are couples who share a bed, not the 4 occupants advertised.
