• Good stay

  We had a good stay. The location is private and secluded. Good size for a family

  3/5

  The house was spacious enough but the overpowering smell of mold or mildew or something was awful. I've done at least 5 loads of laundry after returning home including washing the backpacks and duffle bags we packed our things in. My leather bag captured the odor and 2 days later has not aired out. Location was good enough but hard to see the number from the road. The wifi was impossible to get on so I'm glad I brought my own Hotspot. The random appliances all over the counters made it virtually impossible to make a meal as there was zero counter space. We enjoyed a few games of pool but the sticks were very used and in poor condition. The piano bench and chairs at the table were falling apart. The sofa was also broken but still usable. Overall clean aside from the odor. Would not book there again.

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Michelle, we want our guests to rest easy when they stay with us, and we apologize you experienced some issues during your trip. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
  - The home was deep cleaned before your stay so there should not have been any bad odors in the home. That said, we apologize for your experience and will look into what may have caused it
  - While the home does include WiFi, it can be slower due to the rural location
  -We are replacing the sofa, it will be in place within the next week
  -We use professional photography for the home, so the features you see on the listing are accurately advertised
  Thanks for your valuable feedback as we continue to improve for future guests!

  5/5

  The home is private, surrounded by woods, up a steep driveway. It was just the type area we were looking for. Check in was easy with the key located in a lock box opened by a code. We were minimally disappointed in the home, but not enough to call the manager. (We don’t like to spend our vacations complaining, nor meeting with repair people). The things I wished were different - our grandsons, weight lifters, were looking so forward to the workout room. The cables on the weight machine were so messed up, we didn’t feel comfortable using it. The treadmill was a hit. Also the games shown in the pictures were a big draw for the teens. But the air hockey didn’t work. We did play pool and enjoy the board games. The sofa was as appeared in the pictures but one end had no support, at all. Luckily, one of the grandsons thought it was a hoot sitting in “the hole”. The day before we left, the water had a brown tinge. Not sure what that was about but it suddenly turned the toilet bowls brown. We had purchased water for drinking and cooking. There are 3 bathrooms and 3 bedrooms. The surprise was, there is a hall bathroom and TWO bathrooms off ONE of the bedrooms! If, like my husband, you like a really firm bed, you will love the beds. The welcome book is hand written with multiple things scratched out and written over, and some incorrect info written by previous guests. It was confusing and an updated book would be very helpful.
