Lovely, Sparse, and Hot
A charming, rustic farmhouse with minimalist decor. Three bedrooms were comfortable. The kitchen is not well equipped, e.g. no drinking glasses. We visited during a hot summer week and the house was boiling hot-no screens, no AC, windows won’t open. The upstairs was an oven and no one could get a good sleep in the stifling heat and insufficient fans. It was a very difficult week.

Never again
Extremely unhappy with our stay. House needs repairs. Dangerous getting into house. Uneven walkway needs to be repaired. Creates a tripping hazard, also needed is a railing up to porch, as well as no hand railing going to second floor. Heat was off house temp 51 when we arrived. Took over an hour to figure out how to operate the nest style thermostat. No instructions on that. Once the thermostat saga was figured out the forced hot air system was adequate. Texted agent (9pm) never got back to us until next day. Telling us if there aren't enough towels to use the washer & dryer! Shower is in a high old climb in bath tub- again dangerous no hand railings. Also bedroom doors do not completely close. House is old, needs to repaired & up to safety codes. Not just over painting everything, even painting the windows closed, none of them open.
( again dangerous).
