The property was infested with large ants upon our arrival so I contacted the owner. He claims the exterminator was there 3/20 and we checked in on 3/24. He has the exterminator come back out, however, by the next day the home was again covered in large ants- in the tub, shower, living room floor, kitchen floor, crawling up the wall, the nightstand, and even in my son’s bed upstairs. While my daughter was showering, at least five ants were combing into the shower. While brushing our teeth, ants were crawling on the mirror. We did our best to manage and killed and cleaned up many ants. However, the third night we came back from being out all day and evening to find many more ants everywhere to the point you had to watch your step. I messaged the owner to let him know the situation and sent a few photos. I was told that since we were in the woods this was “normal” and we had used all nights so would not be given any refund for the issue. To me this is not normal and I have stayed in cabins before without an ant infestation. My kids and I couldn’t wait to get home and shower and wash everything with the hope we had not brought ants home. We would have left the property sooner and gotten a hotel but there was no offer of reimbursement and I couldn’t afford two places. We hardly slept at all the last night due to worrying if ants would be in our bed. I would definitely NOT stay here or any of the backwoods rental properties again!
