The Reserve at Plum Bottom

Subject: Formal Complaint – Severe Ladybug Infestation During Stay (Simple Life Hospitality) Dear Expedia/VRBO Customer Service I am writing to formally submit a complaint regarding a property I reserved through Expedia/VRBO for our Memorial Day weekend stay (May 24–26, 2025). Upon arrival, one of the bedrooms—intended for our three children—was found to be heavily infested with over 150 ladybugs. They were on the walls, ceilings, beds, towels, and even in the bathroom. It was impossible for our children to sleep in the room due to the overwhelming presence of insects. We spent the evening removing ladybugs and trying to calm our children, which completely disrupted our vacation. I’ve attached a photo as evidence. This is far beyond what can be considered a seasonal issue, and the condition of the room was not acceptable for any guest. Additionally, this raises serious concerns about whether the room was properly cleaned before our arrival. If cleaning had been done on the day of check-in, it would have been impossible to miss such a heavy infestation. This only adds to our disappointment and frustration. I already contacted the property manager, Simple Life Hospitality, but I have not received a satisfactory resolution or offer of compensation. Given the impact this had on our stay, I am requesting a partial refund or other appropriate compensation. Thank you for your assistance. I look forward to your response.

seeun - Posted: 5/26/2025

Seeun, Thank you for your message, and we’re truly sorry your stay was impacted. The home was professionally cleaned prior to your arrival, but in Wisconsin, ladybugs are a common seasonal occurrence, especially in spring, and can appear suddenly, even in clean, sealed homes. We understand this was frustrating, especially for your children, and apologize for the disruption. While ladybugs are harmless, we appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns and will support a fair resolution. Our guest services team has been in contact with you since your arrival, and we hope to continue working toward a satisfactory outcome. Sincerely, Simple Life Rentals

The house was clean, comfortable and very easy to live out of for several days as we visited Door County towns and state parks. It was perfect for us to stay with our daughter and her family with 2 children(1&2). The dining room, kitchen and living are open concept, which was great for toddler and infant exploring/playing and family togetherness. It is away from any towns, so star visibility was amazing every night at the backyard fire pit. We we used charcoal grill twice and ate on the back patio. We have a small dog and it was fabulous to let him roam around the fenced yard when we were there. Easy checkin/out and wonderful stay.

Thank you for your kind review! We are so glad you enjoyed your time and hope we have the pleasure of hosting you again!

Simple Life Rentals staff

It was the perfect get away from the city. The home was clean and comfortable. Very easy check in and out. Our little dog loved the space too. Away from the main strip but close to enough to easily get too the restaurants and activities. Would definitely recommend it as a place to recharge and rest.

We appreciate your review, Shameran! Thank you for allowing us the pleasure of hosting you and we hope you will be back.

Good location, close enough to everything yet far away from the crowds. Very quiet & secluded. The house was very clean & well stocked with toiletries and plenty of towels. Great large size washer/dryer & tons on closet/storage space. TV was nice with plenty of channels and DISH network. Very open and bright, we loved the large kitchen! We also loved the deck & fenced yard for our little chihuahua. Enjoyed a fire in the fire pit & bought wood from a neighbors stand for $3, which was perfect. Only question we came across was where to dispose of recyclables on checkout (there was only 1 outside garbage bin which we assumed was for regular trash, perhaps instructions could be provided for recycling). Overall great place & we will definetly return!! Five stars!!

Simple Life Rentals staff

We loved the beautiful kitchen and spent most of our time in the living room. Unfortunately it rained most of the weekend so we didn’t get to enjoy the deck and firepit but it looked lovely. The bathroom and bedrooms were clean and cozy. Overall we were very happy with our weekend stay.

Andrea - Posted: 8/18/2024

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad to hear that you loved the kitchen and enjoyed your time in the living room. It's unfortunate that the weather didn't cooperate for you to enjoy the deck and firepit, but we're happy to know that you found the bathroom and bedrooms clean and cozy. We appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back for another stay—hopefully with better weather so you can fully enjoy all the outdoor amenities!

Simple Life Rentals staff

We had 6 adults and had plenty of space with three bedrooms and two large bathrooms. We enjoyed sitting outdoors on the patio watching the birds in the morning. The location was central to many places we visited in Door County. We all enjoyed the property.

Karen - Posted: 8/6/2024

Thank you for your kind review, Karen. We are so pleased to hear that the home worked so well for you and your group.

The fenced yard was phenomenal for our Miniature Schnauzer. He DELIGHTED in following every scent and sound. It may be the most joyful we have ever observed our 2 year old dog.
The kitchen was well furnished and we all slept soundly.

We had a great stay. The house looks exactly like the photos. It was comfortable for our group of 3 couples. We had some issues gaining entry because the front door knob was broken, but we figured it out. The dish washer was also non-functional during our stay. The host was very responsive regarding the issue. While it required a technician and couldn’t be repaired during our stay (understandably) the host had a great plan to manage the issue while we were there. I would recommend this home for your stay in Door County.

The house was very clean and stocked with the daily essentials like garbage bags, cleaning products and toilet paper so we didn’t have to run to the store which was nice. We really enjoyed the fire pit and it was nice having the bird feeders up so we got to see my different kinds of birds.

Jennifer - Posted: 10/2/2023

Hi Jenni, thank you for your kind review and feedback! It is our pleasure to offer a starter pack on essentials, and we are so happy you enjoyed your time at the home. Hope we have an opportunity to host you again!

This property was immaculate. The house was newly renovated with very modern décor, which lent for a nice time when spent lounging in the house. The fenced in backyard was a huge hit with our two dogs; it was so refreshing being able to just let them run. We also brought our 18 month old who enjoyed the backyard and ease of access around the ranch home. The kitchen could be more equipped with things like a cutting board, more than one frying pan, a strainer etc. The location was just fine for us to get around. It was just a bit out of the way, if you're looking to be closer to town, but for us it worked. Overall, we really enjoyed this house and our stay. It was easy to find, very clean, and provided more than enough space.

Simple Life Rentals staff

Home was recently updated, clean, and exactly what we needed. Stayed with a group of 5 (2 couples, 1 teenager), so the multiple bedrooms, bathrooms and large communal space was perfect. Everything was as described and worked great. Large fenced in yard and the surroundings were beautiful and peaceful. Pet friendly and our dog was right at home! Only possible negative was limited internet and cell reception. But that comes with the secluded setting and wasn't an issue for us (actually more of a positive for what we wanted) but could see it as a concern for some.

Nick - Posted: 9/11/2023

Hi Nick, thank you for all your kind feedback! We are so pleased to hear everyone enjoyed their stay and that the home met all your expectations. We hope to have an opportunity to host you again sometime!

Family joined my husband and I from out of state, and they fell in love with Door County, and this home, which exceeded our expectations. The home was super clean, and had great accommodations, including a large fire pit and porch. The home had a lot of room for our group of six, felt private and peaceful, yet was no more than a 30 minute drive to anything we wanted to do in Door County. We will stay here again!

We would definitely book this again when we come back in the winter.

If you are looking for a quiet respite after a day of exploring beautiful Door County, this is a great place. It is out of town a short distance, but worth it. While we didn't have dogs, this place is dog friendly with fenced in yard to keep them safe. Great place for families.

Debra G. - Posted: 8/31/2022

Thank you, Debra, for your kind feedback! So pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay with us!

Simple Life Rentals staff

The absolute best place to stay with your dogs in Door County! We've been taking our pups to DC for four years, always a challenge as "pet-friendly" accommodations are hard to find, and not usually very good logistically for pets. This place was incredible, with a huge fenced in back yard that gave them space to run and exercise, and pet-proof LVP flooring and set up indoors.
Enough about the dogs- it was great for us, too! Secluded and quiet, but centrally located so easy to get to pretty much anywhere in 15-20 minutes. Very nicely done complete interior gut remodel, with a large kitchen and island, nice bedrooms - comfortable beds for 4 adults and 2 kids. Could easily sleep more by rolling out the futons and couch beds but wouldn't be as comfy.
Two points I think are important to mention, not necessarily good/bad, just are:
(1) WiFi and cell phone coverage (at least for Verizon) are not great. They provide WiFi but it is a hard area for internet providers to service, so the bandwidth is limited. Don't expect to be able to do high data-intense work effectively if you need connection while on vacation. You will have to drive 10 minutes to Egg Harbor if you need to do that. Emails, web-surfing are fine, however.
(2) AirBnB does not include the daily fee for pets ($45/pet/day) when you book your stay. The owner has to collect it later from you. It is totally worth the price - by far the best place to stay in Door County with your dogs - but be aware it gets added later. They tell you this in the description, but it's easy to miss.
We loved our stay and will be back next year!

Michael - Posted: 8/26/2022

The property was very clean and a great space for six people. The backyard was a plus with a nice deck, firepit and fenced in yard. Indoor space was nice with open general space and nice bedrooms. Pet fee was high on top of the higher general fees. Very strong septic odor noted with tank near front entrance.

Brian P., Mason City - Posted: 8/12/2022

We appreciate the feedback, Brian! Glad to hear you enjoyed your time at this property and hope we can host you in the future!

The house was the perfect relaxation getaway for my family. Everything needed was provided at the home, including a walk in shower for my father who has issues with arthritis. The location was central to every sight we wanted to visit. It was so fun to bird watch from the deck, play some corn hole, and start a fire in the pit while gazing at the stars.

Bernadette - Posted: 8/11/2022

So happy you and your family enjoyed the home and stay! Thank you for the wonderful feedback and we hope to host you again!

We loved this house, backyard and location. Newly renovated and updated with a fantastic kitchen and lay out. The backyard was nice with with a deck, fire pit had comfortable chairs. Clear view of the stars at night. Short drive to Egg Harbor, but it’s a tranquil and quiet location. We loved it.

The house is exactly as pictured! Located off a quiet farm road, the interior of the home is completely renovated, offers an open floor plan and every amenity you may need during your stay. The backyard has a walk out deck located right off the kitchen, a fire pit with additional seating and it is completely fenced in which was a great addition for our dog! The house is located only a short drive to egg harbor and the surrounding towns around the door county peninsula!

Liz - Posted: 7/6/2022

We came for a week to tour Door County and retreat to the house for a quiet evening each night. We enjoyed our time here. It was exactly as described and pictured. Perfect for our family!

Heidi - Posted: 6/23/2022

Great house in Egg Harbor! The pictures don’t do it justice. Nicely renovated and decorated. Back yard had an awesome fire pit. Good location just a few minutes away from downtown Egg Harbor. Perfect weekend getaway. Will be staying here again!!

Tiffany - Posted: 6/19/2022

This place was perfect. It’s location is outside of egg harbor (about a 5min drive). The inside was beautiful! We had two dogs and the backyard was amazing. Fenced in with a deck and fire pit. We were able to let the pups play while we grilled and hung out. It had great privacy and wonderful decor. My wife was a bit concerned before we arrived because we weren’t right on the water…she got over that quickly once she saw the kitchen and set up here. Beautifully maintained and just an overall wonderful spot.

Micah - Posted: 5/30/2022

The house was clean and cozy. Backyard was very nice and quiet in the evening. We worked remotely and the Wi-Fi was good enough, a little slow but worked out well. Location is great, central to all of the hiking and places we like to go to. We brought our dog and the pet fee seemed a little high for as long as we stayed, a flat cleaning fee after a week would have been nice.

Jessica K. - Posted: 5/26/2022
