Not So Mighty
The location of this property was a little further than anticipated. We were not aware you had to cross a busy two lane road. Definitely not walkable if carrying a lot of items. The property was okay. The outdoor grill and backyard were undesirable. The inside is a little outdated and the floors are uneven with soft spots. There is no dishwasher and the kitchen wasn’t equipped very well. Very little privacy as a majority of the house is connected by thin accordion doors or a curtain. The one private bedroom didn’t have a door either. We assume due to the house not having central AC. We spent most of our evenings on the screened in back porch which was very nice. The living room was comfortable, but the lack of family style dining was problematic. We would not stay at this location again for the price we paid, but made the best with what we had.

Listing is not like the house
The layout was awful and not explained in the listing. 3 of the bedrooms were connected to each other so you had to walk through all the rooms to get to one. The doors were separated with tiny thin accordion doors or literal curtains. There was a bed in the master closet. One light for the kitchen and living room. 2 ACs in the house but hardly stayed cool, soft spots in the floors, and upstairs area that was not disclosed in the listing. Hardly any dishes, pots, pans, half a blender, etc. not a great stay at all.
