Downtown Ranch Hideaway

Filthy. Horrible mildew smell. The washer and dryer are located in the basement that has standing water. Nasty bedding laundry on the filthy floor. The entire house reeks of mildew, which stays in your hair and clothing. Kitchen is not well stocked. Floors were not swept. We read a precious review (there were none when we booked but VRBO stated there were high reviews on other platforms) that mentioned the tub and smells in the home. I asked the owner. We were told the bathtub was getting resealed prior to our arrival. Nope. The patio furniture was not usable. Garbage was outside in the patio area. One room had garbage on the nightstand at check in. The property is VERY worn. The sofa bed is filthy. There were empty bottle caps and garbage under the cushions. We reached out for instructions for check in and check out. We got a prompt reply for check in with just our code to check in. We booked for two nights for our family of six. I specifically asked of the property had a strong mildew odor due to our adult daughter having asthma. I got no response. Too late to cancel. We arrived late after a family wedding. We survived the extremely strong mildew odor long enough to sleep and leave the house to meet family in the morning. Returned later in the day to grab our belongings and was nearly knocked over by mildew odor. We left after one night or (8 hours) and notified the owner. We requested a partial refund and have not heard back from them. Book at your own risk.

We were heading to Milwaukee to celebrate our mother’s 70th birthday, but the weekend started with unexpected stress. Last-minute cancellation right before arrival. Would not recommend. We booked this property two months in advance for a night during a busy Harley Davidson Homecoming weekend in Milwaukee. The night before our stay, we still hadn’t received any check-in details. I messaged the contact person and never got a response.While we were already on the way to Milwaukee, we called the property manager. She told us she assumed our reservation had been canceled because the listing was also posted on platforms and had been rented out. We only received the confirmation email right after we booked. We had never received cancellation notice, no refund, and no communication prior to the stay until we followed up ourselves. She said she’d call us back, and shortly after, we got a cancellation notification—just hours before check-in. No apology. Nothing. Absolutely disgracefully handled.I called again and never received an apology, not my problem attitude or any help finding a new place. Thankfully, no one flew in, and we were able to scramble and find three hotel rooms in town very last minute. They did cost more than what we originally planned, but we had no choice.The situation was unprofessional and stressful. I would not recommend booking this property based on our awful experiende. Avoid!
