Would not stay there again...

Good evening, Just returned today from our trip. For the most part we enjoyed out stay. There were few cons to our stay which I would you to point out. The most disappointing part was that the house had mouse infestation. Mouse excrements were in the kitchen drawers and cabinets. Unfortunately we used utensils and then we noticed mouse excrements in the drawers. Looks like cleaning service did not notice that, so I want you to make aware of that issue. I hoped you are able to waive the cleaning fee due to this problem as well. In attachment please find the pictures . In addition coffee maker (black one) is not working. The power is on but water doesn't flow to the pot. We were most of the day out (skiing) and only returned in the evening and only 2 people were able to shower in the hot water afterwards hot water was gone and we had to wait like another 2 hours for the hot water to be back . I emailed the owner in private message 5 days ago with no response and again 2 days ago... After I did not receive the response I am posting on public forum so people are aware what sanitary conditions are up for. I was trying to attach pictures but there was no option. If you guide me how to attach pictures I will gladly provide evidence.

good value, some inconsistencies

Overall, this place is a good value for the money -- three adult bedrooms and a kids' room with four solid bunk beds, two bathrooms with showers. The area is very quiet, in the woods but only 8 minutes from a small town. The backyard is nice. There are neighbors on all four sides, but it still felt private. There were some inconsistencies in the listing, though, that made it a little less than perfect stay. The listing made it seem like we would be in a very isolated area and need to bring in all groceries on arrival, as well as taking our trash to the town landfill before leaving. However, like I said above, the house is 8 minutes from a Tops grocery store and has regular trash pickup, so you can just use the outdoor trash bins. The booking said that Google maps lists the address wrong and to follow directions in the booking, but it did not include directions; it took three attempts to get a response from the property manager, who did send directions a few days before our trip, but it turned out that the Google map was actually correct after all. The listing did not include a grill but did include a pantry; there was a small charcoal grill alongside the fire pit (a nice option to know about), but there were zero pantry items, not even salt or pepper, and no trash bags. Finally -- and I say this as someone who grew up in a very rural area and dealt with a lot of critters -- there were an inordinate amount of spiders in the house, enough that they built webs in several places along the hallway at night.

Nice Family Getaway

Our family wanted to getaway to Lake George for the weekend and ended up renting for an additional day. The house was very clean and spacious. I appreciated the extra towels and linens found in the bathrooms. I loved the open floor plan and high ceilings. There were some areas that were in need of repair (ceiling in one of the bedrooms had a hole where it looked like someone tried to tape a seam but failed to finish). There was a short walk behind house to a private lake. Neighbors seemed friendly. The back yard was small but cozy and we especially loved the firepit and charcoal grill. Some suggestions for management to improve the property: -Install a dishwasher: We wanted to be on vacation from doing household chores. -Fix the hot water: Our family of 5 had to take short 5 minute showers because the hot water was constantly running out. -Add more seating: We are a family of 5 but there were only 4 chairs at the kitchen table. It is probably a good idea to add some bar stools around island and adding two more chairs to the dinner table for extra guests. Some suggestions for guests: Purchase all necessary items (food, wood, charcoal, etc) before you arrive. The house is located in a rural area and stores are quite a distance away and close early. Check to see when the local landfill is open. We cleaned the house after our stay and when we were leaving we were surprised to learn that the Chestertown Landfill was closed on a Tuesday morning. Important to note: Lake George is about a half hour drive away from this house. Special thanks to management: Thank you so much for making our family feel at home! The special memories we created during our stay will not soon be forgotten.

Not as listed

The property was very clean. There is NO dishwasher as listed. There is NO air condition as listed. Fridge leaked entire time. Called manager and said they know it happens and that was the end of conversation. Hot water was scarce. The neighbors are Right next to you so be aware. The main photo of house does not show how close they are. The grill listed is a gas grill and states they will bring a propane tank. The grill is a tiny charcoal grill with no charcoal. It is a clean property and was nice to stay in but it lists things that are not there and it inconvenience our trip with a couple runs to the store.

Clean, Spacious, Quiet

Amazing just like the pictures it’s very open and spacious. We did realize like others said there was missing light bulbs in all the rooms. A heads up the road to get to the house is pretty dark and there is no outside lights when you get to the property/door. I would recommend flash lights because it is very dark. Regarding the shower situation, there was 2 spacious bathrooms. I was with 9 people we all had to take 10 min showers so that we didn’t run out of hot water. Over all the stay was amazing we didn’t have any real complaints besides what I stated above. Thank you so much for having us!!
