The owner was very responsive both before and after check-in, which I appreciated. However, I was frustrated that it took 40 minutes past the check-in time to receive the entry code, causing a bit of inconvenience.On a positive note, there was plenty of room for everyone in our party, with five spacious bedrooms. The pool was lovely, and we enjoyed the hot tub, though the large step to get in could be a bit tricky.Unfortunately, there were a few appliances that needed attention. The oven was outdated and didn't heat properly, making cooking a challenge. Additionally, the cooktop and oven temperatures were inconsistent, which made meal prep difficult. The dishwasher was also in poor condition; we ended up having to wash dishes by hand, as many of them were dirty when we arrived.On the plus side, my bed was incredibly comfortable, and we were happy to have two washers and dryers, which made laundry very convenient. We also really appreciated the thoughtful holiday decorations and gift baskets left by the hosts.
