We stayed in this 6,000 sq. ft. home over Thanksgiving with family aged 8 to 72. While we had fun, the house was a mix of positives and negatives.Positives:The location was fantastic—just 5 minutes from everything—and we felt very safe.The yard was perfect for Thanksgiving snow football games, and the fireplace was a cozy retreat.Beds were very comfortable, and the host was responsive, quickly addressing smaller issues like delivering a coffee grinder within an hour.Negatives:Cleanliness was lacking: utensil drawers had crumbs, bedspreads and pillows were heavily stained, and the light fixtures were caked with dust.The home needs maintenance: broken tiles in the kitchen, windows with stripped cranks, and living room and dining furniture that felt unstable and uncomfortable.The hot tub smelled so bad that after the first day, we avoided it, likely due to the cover.The bunk room was advertised, but we weren’t told the bunk beds had been broken by a prior guest. This left four kids disappointed. There was plenty of communication prior that this could have been disclosed.Amenities like the pool table and ping-pong table were in disrepair and barely useable, and only one TV remote worked for the basement and main floor tv.The home has potential, but it desperately needs a refresh and better upkeep. Despite the issues, we enjoyed our stay, but we’d only return if these problems were addressed.
