On the surface, this looked like the perfect rental for our family reunion, but the lack of basic needs ( a working oven!) ruined our stay. The fact that the “last tenant had the same problem” only rubbed salt in the wound.
We went to buy all the groceries to cook Christmas dinner in the “gourmet kitchen” only to find the thermadore oven didn’t work and the grill didn’t work (on day 2 of our 7 day stay). We called Ken who did respond within 2 hours and told us it would be very expensive to get someone in on Christmas to fix (not my problem!). He then brought over 2 “air fryers” (think toaster ovens) and a full propane tank for the grill. By Thursday (day 4), we point blank asked Ken if he was giving up on us. Finally, late Friday (day 5) the oven was fixed enough so we could use it (Jerry-rigged, no fire danger there!!!).
Sadly, the air-fryers tripped the circuit several times and we made our way in the dark rainy night to circuit box to flip it back. (Again, fire danger?) Ken continually pointed us to the downstairs unit kitchen but that oven had smoked and set off fire alarms when we first used it. (3! Fire hazard hat trick!)
The garbage disposal stopped working on day 6 and by that time we gave up caring. Ken came early on our check out day (the guest book says noon checkout) and asked if they could clean early.
Basically, a kitchen to look at but not cook at! If you don’t want to eat in and cook, this is a good property for you. Otherwise we found it subpar for what was advertised.
