Historic Schoolhouse, Modern Retreat

Beautiful home but property conditions lacking This property was exactly what we’re were looking for to host my moms 80th birthday. The room offered and the spaces inside were perfect for our event. Spacious living areas and bedrooms were perfect. We loved the historical architecture that was maintained and gave the house character and grandeur. Our host and property manager were wonderful to work with. However, the outside was atrocious. Knee high grass, unkept flower beds and the trash was not removed prior to our arrival made it less than favorable. Upon arrival I actually drove past the property not recognizing it due to the lack of care for the lawn and beds which were over grown. We had 70-90 year old guests and young children that had to trample through the grass making it hazardous and our plans for outside games impossible. We were very disappointed by this and I feel deceived by the property owner. As a side note, this house is not in any way ADA compliant as there are many stairs to get in and out of the house. This was not a consideration when we rented but just wanted to mention it. This being my first time rental experience I am questioning doing it again. I can say that after complaining to the host they came to mow and remove the trash the day before we left but that was too little to late. I wish the owner luck in this endeavor to have a successful business as this really is a wonderful property, but they should not deceive their customers.
