Ew.
More aptly named “Sierra Squalor.”
Pros:
1. The kitchen was fine. Plenty of dishes.
2. The water was HOT. (If you have littles, pay close attention.)
3. The couch was comfortable.
4. Secluded feel with a nice view of the ridge line.
Irritations:
1. The WiFi is SLOW. It went out a couple of times while we were there.
2. There’s no dishwasher.
4. There weren’t any bowls bigger than a cereal bowl - no mixing bowls.
5. Beds in 2 rooms were hard.
7. The showers were very aged - stained and rusty.
8. The curtains in the bathroom were 2 inches shorter than the window.
9. A piece of the paneling on the ceiling fell off while we were there. (It did not appear to be expertly installed.)
10. The bedding in 2 rooms was missing a top sheet.
Absolutely Unacceptable:
1. The bathrooms were NOT CLEAN. THERE WERE HAIRS IN BOTH SHOWERS. GROSS HAIRS.
2. The showers had soap scum and lint on flat surfaces and the glass door was covered in soap scum.
3. In the hall bath, the vanity and the floor around the toilet was very dirty.
4. In the hall bath, the toilet handle FELL OFF. We had to take the lid off to flush it every time we used that toilet.
It’s clear that in preparing this house to rent, corners were cut and expenses were spared. The workmanship is shoddy and haphazard. But, those things are forgivable if a place is CLEAN. Old, rusty, and poorly renovated is unforgivable when paired with a broken toilet, grime, and other people’s hair in the shower.
