1. Dispute over rental deposit refund


Part of the damage deposit was kept without regard to the rental agreement. Charges were made for claims of excess cleaning, late checkout, lock change and extra persons. We agreed to charges for excess cleaning, although these conditions were not clearly represented in the contract. We did not lose the keys, but left one on the property and mailed the other back to StreamRush Properties as soon as it was noticed. We had a prior understanding with the owner that we could have 10 people including 2 small children for a short time and were charged $50 without prior notice or agreement for an overnight with 10. The rest of the time we only had 6 people in a 4 bedroom house. We tried to resolve this matte through the Branson-Lake Area Chamber of Commerce, but were not successful.

Make sure you understand with Clint Kasten of StreamRush Properties what specifically is required in terms of laundry of towels, floor cleaning, dusting, etc before you commit and give them a deposit. If you expect to have an extra person for some time of your stay make sure they tell you what it will cost. If you happen to leave one of the keys on your key chain and send it back, expect they will claim they changed the locks and charge you $85. Don't expect to get all of your deposit back because they will very likely find some excuse to keep some of your deposit. Also, don't expect the ice maker to work, or the BBQ to be usable without considerable cleaning.

2. Very bad stay at a cabin


We had a very bad stay here. First of all we had had a group of 13, 5 adults and 8 children ranging in age from 11 to 16. The cabin was set up for ten adults which was fine we brought blankets and sleeping bags for the extra people. We had explained to the owner that we had this many people before we even agreed on a price. The very second the owner pulls up to Take our money she is very mean and disrespectful about the number of people in our group but she takes our money.we had agreed on a stay of three nights July 18, 19, 20th 2010. after our very bad first impression the guys in the group started collecting firewood for three nights. While we are doing this the owners husband confronts us and says that we are getting to much. We offered to pay for the extra wood but he would not accept. We politely agree and put the wood back as he leaves. Before we could get back into the cabin the owner had entered the cabin unannounced and put her finger in my girlfriends face yelling about the firewood that we had already put back, and that my girlfriend had no clue about because she was in the cabin putting up stuff for our stay.

This really upset the whole group but we decided to go ahead and stay and find wood some where else. After our second night there we get up and go sightseeing for most of the day and return to a stripped cabin with a very rude note saying that we was only supposed to stay two nights and that checkout was at noon. we call and try to figure out the misunderstanding. while we were on the phone the owners husband comes in and complains that we are trying to play a game with them and trying to get a free nights stay by "hoo dooing them". while this is going on my friends girlfriend is on the phone with the owner and remembered the agrreement and admits she was wrong. We stay our last night and leave in a hurry the next morning. These people were very rude, and disrespectful. They invaded our privacy numerous times and talked to us like we were kids. I would recommend that no one ever, ever, ever stay at this place.

P.S We were all wondering why we were the only people staying at this place for three nights in the middle of july at a very busy vacation spot. Now we know.
