The pictures did not show the true condition of the house. This house is in terrible condition. Wallpaper peeled off and hanging down in most rooms. Shower handles, broken on three out of four showers. The fourth shower leaked at first use down onto the kitchen table, creating a hole in the ceiling and a puddle on the chair and the table. The stairs to the basement are not to code, instead, dangerously steep, and slippery with old carpet. Woodwork is cracked, stain is worn off. Heating is very difficult to regulate with a thermostat in each room. There was a short circuit on one of the nightstand lamps which created a spark, some smoke and a mini explosion when I tried to plug it in. We only stayed one of our seven nights, and coughed the entire night. Something was in our lungs and we knew that as soon as we left the house when we could breathe easier and stop coughing. The owner said he would refund us the remainder of our reservation, but so far only refunded half and added to the cleaning fee, even though we left the place as clean as we possibly could. This was supposed to be a Christmas gift for our children and grandchildren. Instead, it turned out to be the worst nightmare we have ever experienced in our 21 years of renting through VRBO. We will never recommend this property. It is not in a rentable condition at all.
