Liked: Cleanliness
The house was immaculate. I’m so glad that we chose this property, as it had everything we needed and was a great space for my group to come hang out for a weekend. The kids were entertained and had plenty of space with everyone, but also had space away from everyone when they needed a break.One larger issue with our stay was that the heat in the lower level was non-existent without the gas fireplace running 24/7. The lower level is a kid friendly space, so it was really important to us that our kids weren’t freezing overnight. Didn’t hurt our experience too much, but just one small thing that took away from the whole experience of the house.We also noticed some safety issues around the house like nail heads sticking out of the floor on the stairs and out on the deck. As well as some issues with the wood fireplace venting on the patio that made it unusable during our stay.
