This house gave 7 adults and 2 children places to sleep. It was less than a mile from the Lake Michigan shore. But I’m sorry there isn’t much more positive to point out.
The stay began as we were making our first evening’s meal. We knew there was a gas grill and that we’d need to get propane, which I did. But the grill is ancient and rusted almost entirely through. The igniter would not work, so I had to light it with matches.
Some things were just annoying, but others were just not safe. Annoying were that there was only one spoon, no blankets, burned out light bulbs, no kitchen towels, the coffee filters were the wrong type, and not enough toilet paper. The furniture in the bedrooms was good, but everything else was old and shabby. There was a burn hole in the downstairs sectional.
As a family, we like to play games. We couldn’t do it at all because there were only 5 chairs, and 3 of them were broken. The coffee table was broken and couldn’t be used. We couldn’t all fit on the couch, so we had to bring in plastic Adirondack chairs from outside.
There were no smoke detectors mounted in the house. We found them stuffed into a drawer in the kitchen. That’s just not safe. We also had the downstairs toilet clog, which set off a piercing flood alarm that wouldn’t turn off until I cut a cord (at the owner’s direction on the phone). There was standing water in laundry room, and the downstairs shower leaked.
I would have said more but only given 1500 characters.
