Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Clean and well maintained inside. The house itself and accomodations were wonderful. It was a bit confusing trying to find the driveway. So needs to have a better description on how to find the house or better signage for the house # (we came in at night). The house next door looked like it might cause problems but they were quiet and didn't cause any issues. Kitchen needs to be better stocked. There was no hand mixer or whisk (my daughter wanted a pie which needed a mixer). A few more large plates are needed (it looked like maybe a few had been broken so the set was incomplete). An actual mixing bowl would be nice (for the same pie). The bathroom sink had almost no water coming out of it (probably an easy fix to twist some of the valves). Kitchen sink and shower had no water pressure issues :)It was advertised that there was a grill. Very disappointed in the grill. We cook on charcoal all the time so that wasn't a problem. The tiny grill had no airflow so the coals won't burn and wasn't big enough for a family of 5.Overall we enjoyed our stay.
