Comfortable but far from luxurious
The listing description is not accurate. The house is comfortable & well-worn, not "luxurious, breathtaking, or upscale".Negatives: broken microwave door. Dishwasher didn't clean well. 2nd floor bathroom had mildew on the shower walls & ceiling. Refrigerator doors open on the wrong side & are hard to access when there's people at the table. Nothing to wash dishes with except used sponges (we later found one dish cloth in a bathroom). Kitchen drawers and cupboards were a jumbled mess. We couldn't find trash bags to change out the kitchen trash can when we'd filled it. Broken closet door in one bedroom; several other doors squeaked loudly. Mattresses are very firm and several of our party had trouble sleeping due to that plus the very prominent road noise; it would be nice to have white noise machines provided. We couldn't get the LR TV to work, and it was the only one (listing photos show TVs in 3 bdrms). The house sleeps 15, but the main floor was a very tight squeeze for our group of 11 (esp. the DR). Listing shows king bed on main floor, but it's a queen (king is upstairs). Lock box is on one of the two front doors but the key opens the other door (and this wasn't specified in our check-in instructions).Positives: plenty of parking, spacious rec room in the garage (not attached to house), friendly host, great location for our activities, proximity to Linden Coffee, excellent kitchen lighting, multi-zone heat controls, fans in every bedroom, clean bathrooms & kitchen.
