When we arrived at the house we were very happy with the location, the space, and the overall amenities. Honestly a very beautiful home! Unfortunately, the lower level porch had been overtaken by spiders (on the ceiling and furniture). We totally understood that the house is located in a wooded area, and understand some spiders and webs will be visible. However, what we saw was literally not tens, not twenty, but hundreds of spiders crawling above our head as we tried to enjoy the hot tub. What we saw is indicative of nothing short of months of negligence to the home exterior. It was dangerous and unacceptable, and removed our ability to enjoy the actual facilities. There were spiders coming down within inches of our heads. It was crazy. However, when requested they did have someone come and clean the spiders from the deck, which my party and I appreciated. Honestly overall though with the amount of spiders inside and out it makes the place close to unrentable.
