The house is beautiful on the outside and in a nice neigborhood conveniently located just a couple of minutes driving from Northstar Village. This is the nicest part of this home. However, I have some major complaints about the misleading listing as well as interior of this property.
1. Upon entering the home, it had a lingering smell of some spicy foods that had either penetrated the walls, carpets, or furnishings. If you are sensitive to smells like I am, this can be a turn off.
2. The carpets are very stained and worn. The listing states that this home is newly remodeled but it is definitely not. The carpets look like they are from the original construction and heavily stained. We took photos of the carpet because we didn't want to be accused of any damage.
3. The bathrooms are very small with no ensuite bathrooms.
4. The bedroom mattresses are VERY old box spring mattresses where you can actually feel the springs & are the most uncomfortable beds we have every slept on. My husband and I considered sleeping on the couch one night because we woke up with such stiff necks, sore joints & backs. The pillows were also old & paper thin.
5. The upstairs floors creek so badly when you are trying to sleep in the downstairs bedrooms that any little movement makes the loudest sounds. All guest sleeping in the downstairs bedrooms complained about the noises coming from the only 1 room that was being used upstairs. If you have children sleeping in these rooms upstairs, forget about getting any sort of solid sleep.
6. The most upsetting part of this place is the false advertisement on the listing. The listing states in the Title that this home has a private hot tub but it has a pad lock on it. They are claiming it is because of COVID-19, however, it doesn't state anywhere on the listing that the hot tub cannot be used. The ONLY reason we booked this small home is because of the private hot tub. We could have booked much larger homes with game rooms for much less money, however, went for the splurge on this home ONLY because of the hot tub.
7. The fireplace was clearly previously on fire as the brick was black directly above the fireplace & wood mantle was burnt underneath as well. We took pictures of this too. Plus it smells smoky & stinks up the house when in use like an outdoor bonfire.
