Perfect for large family stays

This home is amazing. Being a renovated historic school house it has sure made for a very nice large home. All of the rooms are very large and roomy and the kitchen is well stocked with all the necessities to make a large dinner. The playground on the property is a hit with the kids. The owner and property manager are very nice and respond very quickly.

Lots of room

This home is very large. They turned an old schoolhouse into a home. There is plenty of room and beds for our family. And plenty of bathrooms. The playground was also convenient.

Do not rent

This property is not ready for renting. To start with the gas company had turned off the gas, I can only surmise because the bill hadn't been paid in a while. So we had no gas for the cooking stove and no hot water. We checked in on Friday after making our appointment with the senior citizen across the street to get the key. The owner said she talked to the gas company and they would be out first thing Saturday morning. Of course no one showed up so we finally left since we didn't want to take cold showers and we couldn't cook our food. The microwave was the size of a little dorm that barely fits a coffee cup. The coffee maker was like a motel size. The disposal didn't work and the sink didn't drain well. The refrigerator had mold in it like the electricity had be shut off. One bathroom was out of order which wasn't too big of a deal since there were 5 others. The air conditioner in the "pink" room didn't work so it was hot since we were in an excessive heat warning. There were no curtains on the main floor and only one room had enough curtains to cover all windows. So you couldn't get undressed in the bedrooms at night. There were 2 places to sit in the picture online but there was only one small couch to sit in the living room. We were renting for 8 people so there should be enough sofa room for your maximum guests. The bar stools do not fit the height of the counter in the kitchen dining area. There are no handrails on the wooden stairs. I could continue but I'm maxed out.
