The following is a text that I sent to the owner on Saturday, 9/29/18, and as of today, 10/2/18 I have yet to receive a response:
I have thought long and hard about whether to let you know or not, but I decided you need to know for future customers. When we arrived on Thursday, the bathroom was in dire need of cleaning. If we had not driven so far - especially with our lab, we would have turned around and gone home. Instead, we went to dollar store and purchased cleaning supplies. The toilet had ‘stuff’ on the seat, on the lid, behind lid and outside of the bowl. Also, I cleaned urine to the best of my ability on the side of water heater. Also, I scrubbed the tub and its walls. I hand mopped the bathroom floor. The faucet had some minor filth behind the faucet but we could have lived with that. After cleaning and sanitizing the entire bathroom, I swept a large amount of yellow animal hair in the living area next to curtains. We understand that others have used this house, but we expected it to be cleaned prior to our renting it. If the bathroom would have been cleaned, the floor is something we could have lived with. The bbq grill had hole in bottom so could not be used. We had brought our supplies to enjoy peace and quiet while grilling, but instead ate sandwiches that night. Friday morning, our lab enjoyed playing on the sand bar, so that was the only enjoyment we were afforded. After that, we packed and left yesterday (9/28) around noon.
