QUESTION: What could you rent for $2400?
ANSWER: Anything would be better than this place!
I took my family on summer vacation a couple of months ago. We searched online and found this place to be reasonable and to be honest it looks decent and well kept from the photos. When we got there, my 6 year old daughter said "This place looks nothing like the photos. It is a dump!" Children never lie. With week old garbage piled to the roof on the side of the house, we were overcome by the disgusting odor immediately as we opened our car doors and we walked through the front door. Smoldering hot day with a garbage dump stink in the air, our first goal was to get the AC cranked up. "Wait! Where is the AC?" No AC available on the first floor, where you spend most of your time and only 20 year old window units that sputter and spit a little bit of wind upstairs. Maybe our next goal is to just lay down and get some rest, the beds were rock hard with no spring whatsoever. The sheets that were on the bed were covered with sand when we got there. The neighbors were absolute white trash staying up until 3am every night with all kinds of dogs constantly over invading your yard and deck. Some of the neighbors did not have restrooms but had porto-pottys instead so I guess we should have felt thankful even though the water stank to high heaven. The entire cabin was not clean when we arrived the kitchen was the worst of all with some sort of grease coated to the microwave and floors covered with dirt and sand. If you do decide to rent this dump, bring your own dresser because the owners keep all of their clothes and things in the drawers.
I am not one to complain. I try to stay positive and I am definitely not someone who takes enjoyment in writing these things.
When we left, my entire family encouraged me to complain to the owner. I did not complain until the owner decided that she would try and nickel and dime more money from me from my deposit.
I wish I would have known about this website to check beforehand. Now, all I can do is hope that someone else will check it and not make the same mistakes that we did.
If you decide to rent this place or any others, here are some questions to ask:
1. Send me more pictures, I want to see other rooms of the place and I want to know the dimensions.
2. Ask if they have central air.
3. Ask if there water is safe to drink and use.
4. Ask for someone to be there for a pre-inspection before occupancy. Too many renters in the Michigan area continue to get ripped off by these owners who are taking money at will. Just look for ads on this website.
5. Ask what the neighbors are like.
6. If possible, take a small trip and look at the cabin before renting. If we had looked at this one beforehand, we would have never stayed.
7. And make sure that they are honest with their pricing, I could have kicked myself driving around the Paw Paw area looking at some of the other beautiful rental cabins. |
