July 4th weekend 2017 we rented the whole house (5 couples). food was great, Rob and Maria were great, they gave us good places to eat an things to do. 5 Star service. We decided to go back again July 4th 2018. This time we had 4 couples and there were 2 other couples that were already there when we arrived. Soon as we got there Rob told us NOT to drink the water. Said something was wrong with it and we could get sick. He said when we go out drink bottled water and beer (no mixed drinks or anything that would need ice). He had bagged ice in his freezer. When we went to eat and asked about the ice everyone said nothing was wrong with the ice on the whole island (had been years since they had any issues). One of the couples was sick the whole time they were there(we found out later). The wife stayed in their room most of the time we were there except the 1 time they were in the common area (where we ate and watched tv). We all sat out there and laughed talked for a few hours. The husband mingled with us off and on. We were there for 4 days. The day we left 1 guy got sick and barely made it to the ferry and was sick the whole time they traveled (got better 4 days later but passed it to his wife who was sick for a week). I felt queasy and feverish and had chills during the drive home. We stopped at mcd and I couldn't even eat. I managed a half chicken nugget and 2 fries. By the time we got home I was sweating/had chills/ had a fever of 102, very weak, body aches, couldn't even keep water down, had diarrhea. I missed work for 3 days with the same symptoms. I passed them to my husband on day 2. So we were both down for a week. My aunt who lived in the same house caught the same symptoms and while at work Monday came home and was out for 2 days. Another lady from the other couple got sick and missed 2 days of work as well. She passed it to her boyfriend and they were down for a week as well. We contacted Rob and Maria several times. She even answered the phone at her job and said she was gone for the day. Had they reached back out to any of the couples in the group to say IM SORRY. The prior guests in our house were sick and it might be contagious, let us clean again, stay out the house till we are done, discount the rate.....SOMETHING....but nope we got nothing. This even went as far as having the health inspectors involved and they said it wasnt the island.....just Black Squirrel Inn guests for that week. We will NOT go back to stay at that place again. They went from 5 stars to 0 stars read more
