The family whose home was trashed by short-term Airbnb renters last weekend will likely be out of their Sage Hill house for the months it will take to clean and restore it.

Star King and her husband came home Monday to find their house upended by what police described to them as a “drug-induced orgy” after more than 100 people reportedly showed up to party.

They were told by police that a hazardous materials crew would have to come in and inspect the home before they could start cleaning it up.

On Wednesday, companies trained to deal with biohazards visited the home and told the King family that “everything that goes out of our home, even what goes to the landfill, needs to be treated as a biohazard,” King said.

The Kings also spoke with insurance adjusters, who told them they’re looking at hundreds of thousands of dollars to get the home back to livable condition.

“Some stuff has to be thrown away completely,” said King. “Some stuff, once they clean it, I can choose if I want to keep it or not.”

The home was still in a state of total disrepair on Wednesday when the Kings invited media to see what had happened. Food, garbage and cigarette butts could be found in nearly every room. A film of unidentifiable fluids covered most surfaces, women’s lingerie was strewn about the second floor and condoms and wrappers were found throughout the house.

“With that kind of liberal body fluids, they don’t know where the cross contamination has been,” King said.

“The amount of sex that happened in our home is just …” she added, trailing off.

Though the Kings — who have two young sons — are still trying to wrap their heads around the devastation they face, King said the family is overwhelmed by the support they’ve received.
