Wonderful

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at the VRBO. The deer visited and the turkeys were interesting. We lacked nothing inside the VRBO. Home away from home feel. Highly recommend.
The house was as advertised, VERY clean, plenty of room, and comfy beds! No issues at all. Communication with Owners was easy with FAST replies! (Note: A heating/plumbing service showed up for an unannounced appointment and Owners apologized—but they used a LOUD reciprocal saw while I was on a Zoom meeting at the kitchen work station for a few minutes so THAT was inconvenient)
What to be aware of: The yard is “private”, but shared space with apartment suite below. So, not private if guests occupy that space. Also, privacy was impinged upon when Guests were delivering items below. Voices can be heard clearly through the registers between living spaces. Those guests didn’t stay, they were just dropping items off, but if that suite is occupied NOT by your friends or family members, “privacy” and peace would be compromised.
The only other thing is the Rules posted on the fridge and the rules I signed were different- so wasn’t sure which ones to follow. (Example: The one on the fridge says clean all dishes and put away, the other says to start the dishwasher before you leave) so clarification for symmetry and expectations would be more helpful.
GREAT neighborhood, safe.
