Ferrets do have a distinctive "ferret smell" to them, but they won't stink up a whole house. Air freshener and febreze are my friends when I'm ferret-sitting. That musky smell is a very easy odor to neutralize.
The only time I've ever thought ferrets smelled horrible was when I was playing with one that hadn't been de-scented. He got excited and sprayed. OMG . . . That was horrible. >_<
