Nice Classic Home but needs work

Our stay was for 1 week with family. Summarize with Pros and Cons: Pro; Host for the most part was responsive with text and calls. Great Area.Space was enough for our group with a great view of the River (Please note its a hike up and down to the river). Cons: Not as described. States 3+ Bathrooms. Actually 2 with 2 halfs. Pics are not the same showing the property. Pics were staged to show property looking better than it was. Lower lever could not be used due to Sewer gas smell. ( fortunately we did not need it) No cleaning supplies IE Broom etc.. No Grill tools. Pot and pans are dated. Trash was full outside on arrival. The area by the river was muddy and unuseable our entire trip but the host allowed us to move the fire pit. No Kayak, games etc as described. Windows have not been cleaned probably in 1-2 years. This home needs work and we believe the goal of a "Old" historic look was not met. It appears that both VRBO and the host must not see or inspect the property as it is very evident that whatever services etc are used is not being checked. (pics are available) If VRBO and the host read the reviews most of our comments are noted in past reviews. Would not recommend and its sad seeing the town and area are great.

Better communication and supplies

Overall it was a great stay. It slept all of us and was a great location. Check in instructions need to have more detail. No mention to use the FRONT door. Trying for hours to get in the side door, as this door had a lock box. Several of us tried, but since it was dark (no front light on) we didn’t see the key pad on the front door. Tried calling and texting the host for hours, but no answer. Had to call VRBO and get an alternate phone number and almost had to stay at a hotel. When guests are checking in, thermostats should be set to a normal temp. It was very cold in the house, especially since we weren’t able to get in for so long. Light string in the basement bathroom broke when we turned the light on. Understood it is an old house. May need to upgrade the bath light fixture. There are a few bugs in the master bedroom. But understand it is an old house. No garbage bags and recycle can in the house. Clock in the kitchen needs batteries. We picked up cigarette butts in the front yard, as we didn’t want that to be held against us.

Birthday and Packers Weekend!

We stayed at the Baehr house for a long weekend. There were 7 of us total and the house had plenty of room for all of us with room to spare! The house was comfortable and well stocked with all necessities, even coffee grounds and filters! The mattresses upstairs were memory foam like home. The only tiny issue we had was the upstairs bedrooms were a little chilly the first night and we couldn’t find additional blankets. I reached out to the owner and we were shocked and pleasantly surprised to find a delivery of brand new blankets on the front steps when we returned that evening! Would definitely stay again. Thanks!

Bad experience, non-responsive owner, house not maintained. Wouldn't stay here.

Bad experience, left early. Never got an apology from owner. Still had to pay for 1 nite & clean fee. Refund only for the nite we didn't stay. Upon arrival, house had a sewer smell & temp 55 degrees; took 2 hrs to reach 65. Hot & cold air coming out of vents. Furnace was making loud noise at 11pm so couldn't use the basement (had a queen bed and TV entertainment room). 2 of us had to share a bed. Left us w/ 1 king bed, 1 queen and 2 twin. The top sheet of 2nd bed (in trundle) was dirty so didn't use those 2 twin beds. I called property mgr in am; a maintenance person arrived right away. Furnace needed part and had to be turned off. We were told we should be fine because main floor had heat from fake wood in fireplace (wasn't much), space heater in basement and a working furnace upstairs. We asked for another space heater & they wouldn't provide. Temp was going to be in 30's that nite. Sewer smell was so strong on 2nd floor (woke up 2 people) & in basement near furnace (worried could be a gas leak). Not clean: had to rewash the plates, windows dirty, visible cobwebs, furnace filters were caked with dirt, beer bottles around fire pit, big gulp cup sitting on grill, I told property mgr during visit..no apology; said to take pics, that she needs to know if cleaner is doing their job. I said have only 4 coffee cups (was in a prior review) & said I can use other cups or buy my own. No canoe & all bedrooms are on 2nd floor, not main level. Elderly parents had to use stairs.

Good location but not the best and older home

Older property, windows were dirty. Property was very spacious though and had plenty of room to sleep. The pipes in the lower level leaked. It was not fixed and it leaked during the entire stay. Not enough towels for 12 as well. Would probably not stay here again.

Wedding weekend groomsmen

The location was easy to get to and had the space we needed for wedding groomsmen and their significant others. The group enjoyed walking distance to restaurants/bars for night activities. There was a strange smell in the home, but didn't bother the group. Would recommend if you have a group.

Mixed review

It was wonderful to spend time with family and friends from out of state. The house was very nice with lots of character and beautiful built-ins. We were surprised that it sat so fat from the river. But we were able to find other recreational activities within short driving distances. We were concerned that the listing said it slept 12 and realized that 4 people had to sleep in the basement without partitions or privacy, unfinished ceilings and no egress window or safe second exit in case of fire. We all felt that additional pictures of the basement sleeping area and accurate portrayal of the proximity to the river would have been very helpful in our planning. Our biggest concern was with maintenance and timely repairs. When we realized that the air conditioning was not working we called the management office. The receptionists we spoke with were very kind and polite. However, it took 3 days to solve the problem, which left 6 people sleeping on second floor in temperatures that reached 84 degrees, and windows that would not open.
