The view of the mountain is everything here. The sweet old house is cozy and creaky. Great for a few days. The bedroom and bathroom doors and door handles weren’t as functional as I would have liked. Otherwise a great spot!

Disliked: Cleanliness
First the property didn’t have proper instructions for opening the house. The house was unlocked. Dog or cat hair everywhere would even get on my clothes. The whole house was dirty and had a bad smell. When showering in order to have hot water you needed to turn on the water faucet in the kitchen. They failed to disclose that they are renting the shed in the back. The doors wouldn’t close and had no privacy. The AC would be turned off by the host the minute we walked out. One night we had a gathering and was gone all day and the minute we got home at night the house was sooo HOTTTT!!! Very bad experience and if I could ask for money back I would.
