Our family stayed at the myst recently for a family getaway. We pulled up to the house and although the outside was similar to pictures it was a lot more run down than the photos. The worst was the smell inside. It smelled as if the house was boarded up for a few years with no ventilation and the upstairs was even worse. The bathrooms were not very clean, the toilets took forever to flush and the beds were very uncomfortable. The master bedroom does not have a king size bed although in the description it mentions it does. The decor is completely outdated and I’m pretty sure my 90 yr old grandmother has the same couch/furniture. The cabinets were falling apart and the counter top in the kitchen was loose. All of the dishes included were filthy and needed to be cleaned. The back porch looked condemned and the house had several rat traps around it. Booking was very easy and our experience with the rental company to the point of arriving was excellent, however the property was the farthest from being premier!
When we arrived none of the furniture on either porch was there. There was no air conditioning although it was advertised. Furniture looks like it was picked from the side of the road. After contacting rental agency 5bey brought porch furniture and installed ac units but this was too late and should have been taken care of before we got there. Good location and the r3ntal agency responded quickly. I think it was th3 first time the property was r3nted out. Could be a nice r3ntal if they take care of a few things.
