not for over 70 folks
we were dismayed by how dark the interior was and how challenging it was to find the light switches. also dismaying were the steps leading to each room, all different heights and numbers, and the very odd configuration of rooms. we had to leave many lights on through the night so we wouldn't have a fall making it to and from the bathroom. interesting to discover an odd little surprise room, Prohibition themed, off the kitchen, up some steps of course. steampunk decor, dark room colors and tile, quirky display items. we were greeted by natural gas when we first entered: stove knob wasn't fully turned off. bought a bathtub mat so we wouldn't slip getting in and out.

We arrived on a Monday and left on a Saturday. We were staying there with two adults, a teen, and a tween and our dog. The house looked like the pictures. Note, it is unit C (which is obvious from the pictures and part of the text messages, but I had missed that). There is a lot of whimsy in the décor and a lot of little details to look at. There is a step down as you enter. Different rooms are up or down a few steps. The backyard is fenced but very small. The “speakeasy” bonus room had just enough floor space for us to put a twin size air mattress so that the tween didn’t have to share a room with the teen. The kitchen is as shown, there isn’t a lot of prep area nor is there a pantry. There is a wooden four drawer filing cabinet that could probably be used for additional kitchen storage. The pictures show a drip coffee maker, but there was also a Keurig. The fridge is a full-size side by side fridge with water and ice dispenser. There was also a Brita pitcher in the fridge. The dining table is the narrow table shown and has only the 3 bar stools. We used the organ bench to give us a fourth “chair” at the table. Our tall teen did well with it. The dining table did have an electrical outlet with USB connection also. There are dressers in each bedroom and some storage in furniture in the living room. I think if you were staying longer and needed places to put things, that would work out well. The house is a few blocks in from a main road on a cul-de-sac. There didn’t seem to be
