We rented for our young kids, who took full advantage of enjoying the pool table, foosball, ping pong and indoor pool. And that is where the value stops.
Be prepared that the indoors pictured in the listing do not represent the current state of any of the rooms on the main floor, nor the kitchen. The home theatre is also not as depicted, there is no projector and by extension no screen currently, to watch a movie. In its place is a smaller smart TV with external speakers, which you would find in most homes. This hardly qualifies as a home theatre; in fact, the main floor TV by the fireplace is larger! Sadly this room is cluttered with toys and the beautiful library setting is gone.
The first thing you see when entering the rental, is the missing cover on the ceiling smoke detector. It must be noted that availability of some outdoor amenities are subject to the season. The BBQ was inaccessible under deep snow and restricted by the snow-covered deck. So, the decks and their furniture are also unavailable. The firepit is a considerable distance from the house and not accessible unless you wish to spend your stay digging out a path to use it, as instructed by Natasha. A big draw for our family was the Hot Tub which was definitely listed but did not actually exist, at all! It has now surreptitiously been removed from the list of amenities.
Cleanliness left much to be desired. The kitchen still displayed remnants of the previous renters, eg: the coffee pot with coffee remains, dishwasher contained left over food, and the vaunted Keurig machine was disgusting. Worst of all, someone else’s hairs were in the bedsheets in one bedroom.
Since the laundry room is listed as an amenity it was sadly in no state to be used by guests. Leftover towels and dryer sheets were strewn on the floor, and there was a half-finished load of laundry still in one of the machines.
While this property has a lot of potential, the rental cost does not support the actual list of amenities and quality of our stay. We recommend to anyone considering this property to ask for updated images and confirm what amenities can be used before booking.
