This was a great home to gather with our family. There was plenty of room for all. The downstairs game room had something for everyone. It was a great space for quality time with family. We enjoyed the well-stocked kitchen to prepare our family favorites. It was nice to have use of the garage with the rainy weather. Abby & Jeff were quick to respond with information and answers to questions.

Very nice property
The house is clean and well stocked with plenty of utensils, dishes, extra towels, etc. Check in was easy.The only thing I didn’t like was the thermostat. It is locked on either A/C or heat and you cannot switch between the two. The owners control it remotely. This probably isn’t an issue in summer or winter when the weather is predictable, but it was for us due to the weather being inconsistent. The day we arrived, the thermostat was set to A/C and it was 54 degrees outside. I had to contact the owners to change it to heat. They did so, but it’s annoying not to be able to change it yourself. The next day the outside temp was warmer. Because the thermostat was locked on heat, the house was a stuffy 74 degrees. I didn’t reach out to the owners because it was supposed to be chilly again that night which would’ve required asking them to change it again. We went to our daughter's graduation that night. When we got back to the house, the thermostat was locked into the A/C position and it was chilly outside again. So I had to contact the owners to change it back to heat. I asked why they kept it locked and the response was “to prevent guests from obtaining personal information and to keep the settings from being adjusted.” We’ve stayed at many rentals and have never encountered a locked thermostat. If you’re worried about someone obtaining personal info, replace the thermostat. Guests should have control of the temp and not have to ask every time. It was annoying.

The property is spacious with enough bedrooms and bathrooms for 8 adults and 4 children. The kids have plenty of space to run. With having the kitchen table and dining room table, we had plenty of places to sit for meals and also play games. We enjoyed the pool table and ping pong table.

Family Hood weekend
Abby & Jeff were very nice to work with. The house was very nice and clean. We enjoyed the pool table and darts in the basement. The backyard deck with table and chairs was nice to have. The fenced in yard was great to have for my daughter’s dog when she came to visit us. Only downfall was the central air conditioning wasn’t working on our 2nd evening so it made for an uncomfortable evening. That was not something that Jeff & Abby could control, but they did have extra fans available and asked if there was anything they could do for us. We would definitely stay there again!
