Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy
The place was GORGEOUS! It is very much a historic property but had modern amenities to help it feel modern! Only issues we had was that the gates to exit the property had keys in them but the code did not match the house and we had to keep up with the keys. Also the door from the screen porch to the house didn’t close or lock properly. Overall the door situation was a cluster. One of the can lights in the guest was also hanging out by the cords, and some of the light switches wouldn’t work for the fan. We also had an incident where the landscaper came in through the back fence without warning from the owners or the landscaper himself which concerned us.
