Black mold within home. Avoid this stay.
From the moment we walked into A-State of Mind, we smelled mildew. The house did not look as if it had been cleaned in between us and the last guests, there was dog hair on the floor and dried on fecal matter on the floor of the dining room. We walked downstairs to the game room, and found black mold on the ceiling, and wall around the doggy door. Inside of the closet under the stairs was covered in black mold. In the master bedroom with the king sized bed, black mold. Under the kitchen sink cabinet, more black mold. And finally, under the bathroom cabinet, more black mold. There was a broken vent in the upstairs loft, and a broken stair light fixture. There was also what appeared to be dried food that had molded inside the upstairs closet. When I went to take a shower, the water was the color of orange juice, and smelled horrible. The hot tub had a terrible odor.
I reached out to the host the next day, and was told they had no idea, and that there was heavy rain that week, so that probably caused the mold.. but if you know anything about black mold, you know that does not happen overnight. Not to mention, I found a 2 gallon jug of “Mold Control” under the kitchen sink.
This house appeals to families with kids, but if you value your children's health? Avoid this stay at all costs. This home needs a full remodel to officially get rid of the mold, and dehumidifiers running at all times, but to cut costs, they refuse to run the AC between guests, leaving the home humid.
