‘10s’ reviews? Not what we found. However, in fairness, we rented 40 days and probably saw things differently than short term renters. Exterior paled in comparison to adjacent homes. “Location highlights” says “On a lake.” NOT on a lake. Can’t even SEE a lake from the home. “Garden”? Saw no garden. Lawn, shrubs, trees, hedges not attended to in the recent past. Exterior decking deteriorating. Driveway in serious need of repair. Garage door buckled/unsightly. Interior photos didn’t show dated window A/Cs, implying central A/C. Didn’t run master bedroom unit, as the noise inhibited sleep. Welcome book said to “not run all four (window A/C units) at once, because the electricity will flicker.” Three-season porch had no screens. Owner, after a few days, sent someone to put screens in place, which had warped frames that did not close properly, and had holes in them. Outside deck had deteriorated planking. Living room TV without the appropriate remote. Week later a new remote arrived via Amazon. Furnishings low grade and hadn’t, by our standards, been recently updated. Kitchen and bath cabinets visibly worn. Kitchen countertop poorly installed and uneven. Floor tiles stained and cracked. Kitchen tabletop and table in 3-season porch in site photos appeared as stone but were really painted wood and stained. Refrigerator ice machine didn’t work. Message for future renters: offer 1/3 of the asking price. May be worth that. For what we paid . . . not so.
