This review took me a few weeks to formulate. Craig is trying his best to provide a positive experience with his home but is focused on the wrong things and needs to improve the accuracy with which he represents his property and its condition. On a positive note, The house is spacious and large enough to many people. It’s location is nice as well. That said, the house itself has many issues from cleanliness to smell to many forms of disrepair (ex: water heater broke during stay and there is no hot water for showers that day). Craig was very responsive and replaced the water heater that day. Unfortunately, it felt like one too many problems by that point and just a part of a larger problem given the state of the property. Again, Craig was responsive and compensated us for this issues that came up but I believe if he focused more closely on the condition of the home and not “constant communication” (he stays in the garage on property while he rents the house which is not a part of the original rental description) perhaps this would be a more comfortable place to stay. It was hard to relax in this house and we unfortunately did not spend much time aside from sleeping there.
I wasn’t sure I was going to even review this rental but after our difficult experience and looking thru past reviews and noticing issues have been of concern for several years (back to 2017) I had to provide a more honest assessment in hopes that Craig and AirBNB can truly make the improvements and changes needed for a more accurate and comfortable rental experience.
