    “There were a number of light bulbs throughout the lodge that did not work or flickered when turned on.”

    There were only enough dishes for six people requiring dishes to be cleaned after each meal. There were no supplies what so ever unlike all of the other places we have rented over the years. We woke up on the last day to find no electricity and no heat. This is not an ideal rental. It was extremely difficult dealing with both Sykes and the owner regarding changes and discovering where the lodge is located. This is not the first time we have had problems with Sykes. I will avoid them in the ...

    There were only enough dishes for six people requiring dishes to be cleaned after each meal. There were no supplies what so ever unlike all of the other places we have rented over the years. We woke up on the last day to find no electricity and no heat. This is not an ideal rental. It was extremely difficult dealing with both Sykes and the owner regarding changes and discovering where the lodge is located. This is not the first time we have had problems with Sykes. I will avoid them in the future.
