This Air BNB scam almost got me!

What happens here

The owner describes recent severe winter damage to the cabin. The furnace in the upper cabin completely failed, leading to frozen and burst water pipes, a shattered toilet, and broken faucets. This issue further complicated matters as the single water line serves both the upper and lower cabins, and the freeze extended along the entire underground section of the line connecting the two units. The furnace replacement alone cost $14,000.

Goal: Identify the extent of winter damage and the need for significant repairs.
