I was excited to be checking in for our 3 night stay and received a call/voicemail from the property mgmt company at 2:30 pm that housekeeping would not be ready for 4 pm check in. That was a bit disappointing, as I waited for a confirmation call that the property was ready at 5 pm that never came (I had to call and let them know at 5:20 that we were just going to go). The initial impression was that the house was beautiful and well-appointed, and the view did not disappoint. However, I did have to go through the entire home with cleaning wipes, Lysol spray (the carpet in the stairway to the basement had a bit of a smell) and a wet Swiffer to feel comfortable with my family walking around with socks or bare feet (I used six floor pads, and they were all dirty). The house definitely appeared clean to the naked eye, but could use a deep clean. There were no shortage of spiderwebs and dead bugs in the rafters, wall corners, and deck spaces. I was extremely disappointed when we found that the previous renters had left an overloaded dishwasher full of dishes that had not been run before they left, because housekeeping should have caught that, and we had to spend time reorganizing and washing someone else’s dishes. The shower in the downstairs bathroom did not function properly and the drains in the main and upstairs bathroom were extremely slow, (I put in a call about this and never received a response to my request for service). Besides all of this, the house had all that we needed for our stay, amazing views for watching the sun rise, and was conveniently located to shopping and restaurants in Boone. I would definitely recommend, but with the caveat that you should bring bug spray and be prepared to clean to enjoy all of the house.
