Upon arrival, the broken window frame leaning on the front of the house should have clued us in to the state of the rest of the property. As Tony was giving us the tour, I was in shock and all I could think was how much hotel rooms were going to cost us for same day bookings during ACL weekend. In the end we stayed but it was really hard.

This house barely qualifies as 5-bedrooms. One bedroom was added to the back of house and is only accessible through the bathroom or from the backyard. Two of the "bedrooms" are actually glorified sheds in the backyard. Tony bragged he watched some YouTube videos to learn how to build and made the sheds himself. Neither "room" was sealed from the elements and had bugs galore including several 4" cockroaches climbing up and down walls while we were trying to go to sleep. The listing says queen bed in every room but one of the sheds (he calls it a "tea house") had a futon. The tea house is about 5" by 8" inside and not even wide enough for the futon to lay completely open.

The main part of the house is in decent shape but the bathroom is disgusting (like don't take your shoes off in the shower or you might catch something). New caulking in the tub would go a long way to making it not look so gross. The bathroom is overflowing with practically empty toiletries other guests left behind (the ad mentioned shampoo was provided but good luck finding more than a drop in any given bottle). The ad says "sleeps 16" but I'm not sure how. We were a group of 12 and barely fit. A normal sized adult could only sleep on one of the sofas in the living room (the other is more of a love seat). There were 3 air beds provided but one was covered in mold and another had a hole.

Tony warned me a couple days before arrival he was adding a 2nd bath. Not that I could contest or we could find another place to stay at that point. This meant the back wall to one of the rooms was torn down (he later hung a blanket to hide it) and he and a plumber were working on it all day our first day. Super noisy and the water was shut off for most of the day. 12 people sharing a single bath was hard, especially when there was no water and no one could shower one of the days.

It felt like Tony was lurking around the whole time we were there. His art studio is in the garage and he wanted praise for his paintings covering the house and was upset we weren't impressed.

The house would be ok for a bachelor party or college guys with low standards. I felt deceived by the listing and the photos.
