We have nothing good to report about our experience at this house.
1- The outdoor area was unusable. It was not cared for, had debris all over the grounds, and the “Adirondack Chairs” advertised were filled with leaves and debris, moldy and filthy making them unusable.
2- As you enter of the house you are welcomed by a musty smell that permeates the entire house. (described as “Rustic”?)
3- The description of experiencing “historic charm “ and “colonial beauty” are being confused with reality. Although there are many “antiques” in the rooms which may be “charming”, the house is worn, filthy, and antiquated. It truly needs a complete cleanup and remodel.
4- The air conditioning is not central but there are window units in each of the upstairs bedrooms. These will most likely keep you awake because they are very noisy. The positive side to the A/C noise is that it may drown out the train noise and whistle that occurs multiple times per night as it passes nearby.
5- The daily battle of the bugs and mice was time consuming and certainly not part of our vacation plan. The most disgusting job that we had to attend to daily was cleaning and disinfecting the kitchen counters, microwave, and stove of mouse droppings and disinfecting all items before use so as not to contract any rodent carrying illness. These are NOT mentioned in the description of this property but we suspect they are aware of.
6- If you do rent this, we recommend that you put all food in the refrigerator or stove as the rodents will eat through the packaging and then the food will be unusable to you.
We will definitely never return to this house. There’s no wonder they do not allow any refunds!
