This house would be fun for 2 adult couples or maybe 3 single men to hang out. Or it would be good for one family. We had 2 families (4 adults and 3 children) and specifically choose this house because it was listed as having 4 bedrooms. This house has only 2 bedrooms, and the only way it could sleep 12 (as advertised) would be a slumber party with sleeping bags all over the house. Our 11 and 12 year old boys LOVED this place, and they wanted to stay inside and play shuffleboard and foosball all day; but the rest of us were less happy.
Most importantly, the house has only 2 bedrooms! There is a photo on VRBO of a bed and furniture - even art! - that is not in the house, making it appear that there were multiple bedrooms with the same paint color. This is not only misleading- it’s unethical. Out of necessity, we made it work, but it wasn’t the easy stay we were hoping for. The boys slept on the floor and sleeper sofa in the basement/entry way which has no door on it, just stairs up to the kitchen, but the adults could then not hang out in the living room or watch a movie after the kids went to bed, and we all had to tiptoe in the kitchen in the morning so as not to wake them. A room should not be listed as a bedroom unless it has a door that closes and a bed (not a unmadeup sofa bed or blow up mattress that will not fit in the room that it's supposed to go in).
As we scrambled to make up 2 extra beds when we arrived, we put sheets from the closet on the pull out sofa and futon, and they were filthy! So we ended up having to do laundry in order to go to bed.
There is a lot of damage to/issues with the house, things that just make it appear less nice (ie, holes in the wall) as well as functional issues (dishwasher missing parts such as a top rack, drawers that are completely broken, etc). None of these were a huge deal, but it was just an addition to the disappointment of the missing bedrooms and dirty sheets.
The highlight of the house is definitely the rooftop, which is great once the sun goes down (or would be fine in the not-so-hot seasons) - gorgeous place to hang out. Kids and adults who like to play bar games will also like the shuffleboard, darts and foosball.
The host Brian was initially responsive to my questions before we arrived. However, when I specifically asked for some rectification for the misleading listing, he did not acknowledge any wrongdoing.
