As experienced travelers, we were excited for this rural retreat, but unfortunately, the stay was a significant disappointment due to a lack of preparation and basic maintenance. Sanitation: The pool was unusable for our entire stay. The water was murky with visible larvae, and despite the owner visiting, no chemical treatment or filtration was used to make it safe. Additionally, the kitchen suffered from a severe ant infestation that made it impossible to store food outside of the fridge. Property Readiness: Upon arrival, we found painters' equipment left behind and the upstairs living room in total disarray. We had to move the furniture ourselves to make the room functional. Service: We experienced electrical failures affecting the water and Wi-Fi. When the owner was unavailable, we were tasked with contacting and coordinating with the electrician ourselves.The house itself is beautiful, but the management by the agency and owner was far below the standard expected for the price. We felt more like property managers than guests.
