I had to take a few days to digest our stay at this property on Prior Lake. We chose to rent this property because the pictures were great and the property had good reviews. Maybe our experience was the exception and I hope that future renters don’t share the same experience as our family. When we pulled into the driveway we were first taken back by the massive greenery over taking the front of the house. This was NOT reflected in the pictures on the AirBNB site. Once I got over the shock of the lack of maintenance to the front we approached the front door and we were doubly horrified by the spiders and spider webs greeting us. We opened the door to be smacked in the face with the most overwhelming musty smell AWFUL! Then as we walked through the house we found spider webs inside (a LOT upstairs), black mold on the ceiling in the first floor bathroom which got worse as the stay went on, a large hole in the area rug in the living room, garbage left in the trash can, partially used shampoo bottles in each bathroom, partially used soap dispensers, the grill was extremely dirty, the tank must have been almost empty because it ran out part way through one use, the shore was all grown in with weeds which was totally different than the pictures and the “spectacular” view was abstracted by the overgrown brush (again not as reflected in picture). We understand the house is an older home but misrepresenting the appearance is not ok. We found the same photos you have on AirBNB on Zillow from 2011. I would strongly encourage the owner to update the photos for a more accurate representation of the property. I was hoping when I reached out the owner would have offered to have someone come clean inside instead the owner said we could find another place and they would refund us the days we didn’t stay. My response to that was I can’t imagine packing everyone up and trying to find another place so we chose to stay and make the best of it. Very disappointing!
