At the beginning of our travels, days before we tried contacting the property manager previously whose numbers were not updated on the VRBO website. Therefore, we were unsure of what we were going to be driving into.
With that being said, we tried knocking on the back house door but the property manager never answered the entire weekend. He said that is usually back there and greets his guest, but failed to do so. The number on the welcome paperwork was inactive as well. But, we saw his car move occasionally from his back parking spot so it felt as if we were being ignored.
That begin the frustrations of our weekend. We walked into a very dirty house. The floors were sticky, there was dust and hair everywhere, broken tile on the fireplace, nails up on the deck, lack of pots and pads, and it seemed that there were no heat upstairs in the house. Again, we tried contact and knocking on the house (where he was said to stay) but never answered.
Therefore, we were lucky the location was right near everything in Downtown Asheville that we were able to just drive a short distance with children to go out to eat, the park, breweries, etc. We kept a positive head with our friends and made the best of a bad situation. However, we will not be recommending this VRBO property to be our family and friends or staying here on our annually Asheville vacation again.
