This was our third stay at this property, and each year is better than the last! After an initial hiccup with check-in, which was quickly addressed and corrected by the owner, our stay was nearly perfect! On our first morning, we did find one stovetop pan in the cupboard that looked like it hadn’t been washed and was crusted with dried scrambled-egg residue. It’s always disappointing when previous vacationers leave things like that for the next guests… and apparently it slipped by the housekeeper unnoticed, too. The owner asks guests to wash AND put away all dishes prior to check-out (10am), and perhaps this leads to some guests taking shortcuts in order to check-out on time. Maybe asking guests to simply load and start the dishwasher without the requirement of also waiting for the load to finish and then put all the dishes away would avoid this in the future? Also, a lot of the dishes are chipped or cracked, and most of the kitchen/baking ware has seen better days, so we bring a lot of our own things. On to the positives - the ceiling fan in the main bedroom was a welcome addition this year, along with the new bed frame, and the views and privacy at this location just can’t be beat! If you’re looking for an updated and modern home with granite countertops and new/fancy appliances… this isn’t the location for you. If, however, you are looking for a beautiful, lived-in, comfortable location to enjoy privacy and nature that is a short drive to everything, this is your place!
