First I want to say that this property has the most gorgeous views I have ever had when staying in a vacation home. The quiet atmosphere was so wonderful. We had our parents, us, our 2 adult children and their families staying on this trip. Our 2 labs had a wonderful time roaming around the property and just lounging on the decks. The covered porch came in handy with the intermittent rain. We were able to bring the picnic table under the covered section and still enjoy being outside.
Loved that they had a folding table and lots of extra chairs so that we could open that up for the week. We used it for eating and separate groups to play games.
The kitchen was very well stocked. They even had many spices to cook with, which was very helpful and appreciated. There was both a Keurig and a coffee pot. A crock pot
and plenty of casserole dishes for use. I love a well stocked kitchen, especially when the entire family is getting together.
I will say though that this property needs quite a bit of work done on it. The broken front door was very inconvenient to work around. You could go out it, but not come back in. None of the sliding screen doors worked properly and really couldn't be used at all. Labels on the light switches would have helped people know what belongs to what. This was not a very clean home. Dust on many of the surfaces, especially on the upstairs master bedroom furniture. The shower in the master bath upstairs also had black mold and mildew along the bottom and obviously hadn't been cleaned in quite some time. No supplies at the property for us to use to clean it ourselves either. The grill needs some maintenance as well. It did not heat evenly, and the burners could probably use some servicing.
The basement bedrooms have a strong musty smell. I would recommend that you bring an extension rod with a shower curtain to offer some privacy between the 2 rooms down there.
The sheets and blankets are all extremely old, musty smelling and pilled. They were uncomfortable and need to be replaced. For the amount of money that we paid for this week, I was disappointed with the quality. Especially the bedding and the cleanliness. We had 8-9 people sleeping in the house throughout the week. Everyone had the same comments, especially the basement bedrooms.
While the views were spectacular and made up for a lot of the issues, the cleanliness, linens and maintenance should be addressed quickly.
