Private Pool & Yard: Pet-Friendly Home in Toledo

Reviews

• 3/5

  We were the first guests to stay at this property and honestly it didn’t seem like it in some ways. There was a thick layer of dust on a lot of things. There were no coffee mugs or cereal bowls, no vegetable peeler, and no can opener (no big deal but should be mentioned- especially if you make coffee in the morning). The towels seemed fresh and new, and mini toiletries were provided which was nice. But when we stripped the bedding per check out instructions, there were quite large and noticeable stains on one of the twin mattresses and at least two pillows. The pool was extremely cloudy, to the point that the kids couldn’t use any sinking toys because they’d be lost. There was also A LOT of old dead leaves at the bottom of the pool. There is no grill or fire pit on the property.The house itself was very interesting to explore and has a unique layout, witch old wood detail throughout. It should be noted that the stairs leading to the back of the house and to the pool are extremely highly and dangerous for kids, so use caution there. We did have a feeling of “they tried.” They had fresh fruit delivered to us our first night, which we thought was sweet. There were cute touches throughout the home. But overall, we felt like there wasn’t a lot of effort in cleanliness for us being the very first guests on the property.

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Nicole, we want our guests to arrive at a vacation home that is 100% ready for their stay, so we take the cleanliness of our properties seriously! We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
  - The house was originally built in 1948 and recently updated with new paint, doors, and 10mm laminate floors. While it has vintage charm, we keep it clean and tidy, so we're surprised to hear about dust. We're sorry it didn't feel that way during your stay.
  - There’s a china cabinet in the living room with over 30 coffee cups, bowls, and serving platters. We also stocked the kitchen with a peeler, wine opener, and can opener in clearly organized drawers.
  - The pool is above ground and surrounded by trees, so leaves fall in regularly. We vacuum the pool daily when the property isn’t occupied, but the setting can make it tough to keep the water completely clear.
  Thanks for taking the time to leave your review.
