My family (12) stayed here with ages ranging from infant to seniors. Positives--great location, large, private, dining/shopping options within a 5-minute drive. The entry points of the home (basement door/front door) required either climbing long, steep stairs or traversing uneven, stones and then a stone stairway that was also uneven. This was not ideal for my older parents who need a more stable entryway. It was an ordeal just to get them in and out of the house. I don't point this out as a negative to the home itself, just as information I wish I had known before renting. Upon entering, several in our group noted a strong musty odor. The manager sent someone over who said we were smelling the wood--we just laughed, shrugged, and immediately bought allergy meds! Since I had seen the same property manager on several rental properties, I inquired as to the availability of any other comparable rentals because the first impression was so bad. No response. The next morning, one of the bedrooms was covered in ants--floor, bedding, inside one of the suitcases. I reported this, again asked for other rentals (no response) and was told they could send someone to spray if we couldn't find the spray. When we sprayed, the ants left one area and came out in another. I sent photos and videos. They dropped off ant bait--too little, too late. For us, "rustic" was old, musty, and lacking a well-appointed layout. Disappointed to have paid so much for a rental that felt old, dusty, and dirty.
