We stayed in a beach home in Neskowin and the place was disappointing. The carpet was covered in old stains. In fact we had to buy carpet cleaner and clean it ourselves. The bedding was unwashed. In general the home was uncomfortably dirty.We will never rent through Merideth again

We stayed at 401 NW 6th Ave, the Lake Front Beach House in Rockaway, OR. The positives: Right off hwy 101 and close to town and the beach. The guest bath had been newly renovated with a nice walk-in shower and double bowl vessel vanity sinks. Very nice. The negatives: the property overall is in need of some TLC and we thought that the pictures were misleading. The front stairs are in need of repair. The first thing that hit us was the smell as we walked in. Clearly no one had been in the property for a while. On the second door into the house the lock was broken. The large windows in the living and dining room had no shades on them and there was no outdoor lighting on back patio so couldn't see at night. The pier outside leading to the lake looked really cool in the pics on the website but when we got there it had a sign that it couldn't be used because it needed repairs. Probably the biggest disappointment was the beds and mattresses: outdated and uncomfortable, all of them. The picture of the comforter in the master bedroom on the website was a big fluffy white down comforter. The actual comforter was nothing like that. The other two beds in the downstairs bedroom were no better, new mattresses needed and not comfortable. There was no wifi or cable (stated on the website) but there was a DVD player and DVD's. However, the DVD's were burned off of tv, complete with commercials. Utterly embarrassing that a vacation rental would offer these, especially when DVD's are so inexpensive now. Also, most of the house had a beach-themed feel to it, which we could see from the pictures. However, in the master bedroom it had a couple of creepy pictures/paintings that we ended up taking down. Why not make the whole house beach-themed? With a few updates, repairs, regular maintenance and having a cohesive beach theme throughout, this could be a really nice rental. New mattresses, blankets and comforters for the beds, a collection of actual store-bought DVD's available, repairing things as they break (door locks, front stairs, the back pier, etc.) would make a HUGE difference in the quality of stay for guests. Since these things have been overlooked, I wouldn't really recommend it to anyone. The pictures were deceiving. We are a family of four with two kids and we made the best of it, but for a 3-night stay, I would book elsewhere. I will really think twice before booking with Meredith Lodging again based on my experience.

I had a wonderful experience with Mededith Lodging. I stayed in one of their condos for a week while on business and had everything I could have possibly needed to make me feel at home and comfortable. Myself and the partner I was traveling with did both encounter an issue with wifi in the beginning. After speaking with the staff we were both able to have maintenance help fix our problem and get us back on track. The location I stayed at was right on the beach. It had an absolutely stunning view, I was even able to see seals. The kitchen was stocked with everything I needed to cook for myself. I definitely would stay at this location again and recommended it to anyone.

We recently stayed at one of the Meredith properties on the Oregon coast.. while the home was nicely decorated, the general upkeep and maintenance was sadly the pitts! Hot tub was filthy and masked by over chlorination, hot tub cover was disgusting, pots and pans were less than desirable to use for cooking. We bet the throw rugs, and blankets hadn’t been laundered in many ,many months. All of this was due to poor property or owner management. We enjoyed our stay with family we hadn’t seen since the pandemic but rather disappointed at the lack of attention to important details every rental should have. We’ve had rental properties in the past and would NEVER overlook these important details when offering our place to guests. Items overused need replacing regularly,

We booked our week stay in 15 Pole House in March 2021 and the trip was in July 2021. At the time we decided to splurge to get a roomy house, with a hot tub, bikes, etc. At the time we reserved the house it said the hot tub was OOO but we figured it would be fixed in four months time. We found that not to be the case. The home itself also did not look like it did in the photos, and while there were six bikes, three of them were for children and one of the remaining three adult bikes had no working front brakes. The home did not appear to have had a good cleaning in quite a while as there was pink scummy type build up around the edge of the main bathtub that could be scrapped off with your nail. The microwave was dorm room sized as a bag of popcorn could barely pop all the way. Meanwhile, there was a range/hood microwave (at least the box of one, we didn't pull it down to take a look) above the washer and dryer. The TV/DVD combo in the bunk bed room wasn't working. The bunk bed itself was unsteady/shaky and that was a concern as our young boys used them. We definitely would not have let our bigger/older kids use them. There were light bulbs out in the hall and the dryer is on it's last leg as we would have to dry a load a couple of times to get it completely dry. We texted Meredith Lodging to make them aware of a few of these things when we first got there and their reply was a thanks for letting them know and to let them know if we came across anything else. We ran out of toilet paper that last day and there were only eight of us that ended up making the trip while the house was supposed to sleep ten. The hot water also only lasted a couple of people at a time. Considering the number of people the house can hold, we expected a larger tank that would cover more of us. We paid close to $5,000 for our weeks stay and it definitely was not worth it. We could have saved a couple thousand for a house that was probably in better condition with a working hot tub and for sure a few thousand less if we'd opted for a house that didn't provide a hot tub at all. To say we were disappointed considering how much we spent, would be an understatement. If a hot tub is not working for over a month, it should not be included in the listing at all as that is misleading given most would expect a fix by then. The eclectic décor may be quaint, but that, the lack of cleanliness, and the other things noted here is not worth the amount we spent and I cannot recommend this particular home to anyone unless the cost is reduced by at least a $1,000 or more. I will end this review with a few positives: it had WiFi, Netflix, a working dish washer, the oven and fridge looked somewhat new, close proximity to the SHARC and came with SHARC plus passes, and it appears they are slowly remodeling bits of the house as the main floor bathroom seemed to have updates in progress.

We've stayed with Meredith before but this time the house we got was beyond disgusting. The carpet smelled so bad that we had to open all the windows and leave them open the whole time. I ended up calling to report it the first day cause it smelled so bad. It smelled like pet urine and very sour. I'm super bummed this happened but the home needs to pull out the carpet. On our last night I had my shoes off and I stepped on a carpet tack strip and man did that hurt.

Disgusting! *Blood stains and urine stains on the mattress pad on the bed in the main bedroom! Wasn’t until we were asked to strip the bed, put the dishes in the dishwasher and empty the trash and after paying a cleaning fee, did I notice there was disgusting blood and urine stains that were never changed out with a clean mattress pad and we slept on it overnight! I’m pretty sure there are strict housing hotel and rooming sanitation laws in effect especially with Covid right now and none where followed! We rented a ski house at Mount bachelor through Merdith Lodging Bend, Oregon Ski House number 121! The air conditioning not working when we got there and a portable unit in the living area that took up the majority of the sitting room it was so big and blew cold air on fold out sleeper that had hair all over it? Blankets for sleeper sofa haven’t been washed probably ever? Absolutely no air conditioner in bedroom and the amenities that we paid for the clubhouse including the pool closed at 6 PM unbeknownst to us when it states clearly on the pool sign at pool and on the website at time of us renting this unit that the POOL didn’t close till 9:00pm and check-in is at 5:00pm? I have called Meredith lodging three times and I have filed an official email with pictures of proof two times and I’ve been told I’d be contact over the last three weeks and I have not heard a word! If there was zero stars trust me I would definitely have zero stars! If you don’t like paying $300 to sleep in other peoples blood in urine stains and have no amenities that you paid for then go ahead and rent this place! I wonder what the owners would think about the money that they pay for the property management there at Meredith lodging for the cleaning and other services there and what is actually not being cleaned and services not being performed? *Update July 21, 2021 Meredith Lodging replied to this post (my post), saying the blood stains on the mattress pad we where left unbeknownst to us to sleep on where old and that the pad was washed before our stay! NO the blood stains where old but never was this mattress pad washed! They where dried blood stains NEVER BEEN WASHED and they made no mention of the FRESH Urine stains right next to the old never washed blood stains! They have only refunded me 1/2 off the 1 night stay fee to date! Keep posted because I most definitely will keep you unknowingly and innocent hotel patrons updated! *I have pictures of never washed dried blood stains and fresh urine stains on the mattress pad and pictures of the room for proof please go to google reviews to see them they’re posted there for Meredith Lodging Mount Bachelor Village Ski House 121

My husband and I were recently traveling from Oregon to Washington for our dogs surgery and our dog unexpectedly had to stay an extra night. We tried to book a room near our dog in Longbeach WA and come to find out because of the heatwave there were no rooms available anywhere on the coast. We called many rental agencies including hotels and came up empty handed. Our last call was to Meredith Lodging and after explaining our situation and extensive search on their end they found us a place to stay in Manzanita. It was by far better than any hotel we would have rented. In lieu of traveling back home which is hours away they came through for us.
