Birthday getaway
The house was clean and comfortable but was built on the side of a hill on a very narrow road. The hot tub had green water and smelled bad there was algae on the underside of the lid. I contacted the host about the problem and was told that someone would come by to maintain the hot tub but it never happened. Was offered a discount on our next visit, but it is doubtful we will go back.

You get what you pay for
This is an older home that has been dressed up to try to look nicer on the inside while the outside is a bit rough around the edges. The furnace struggled to keep up with the low temperatures and ran almost constantly. The mattress on the queen bed was very sloped on one side, making it feel like you were going to roll out of bed all night. Between the noisy furnace and worn out mattress, it was not really conducive to a good night's sleep.

Not as good as I expected
The property was easy to locate and fulfilled my basic shelter needs however, I had to get past a foul smell from the bathroom floor, infestation of Japanese beetles on the ceiling/walls and constant falling to the floor, and a very poor mattress. The floor had to be vacuumed daily to pick up the dead beetles.

ROACHES
The place was filthy, mouse poop everywhere. It said it slept 8, got there to find 2 full beds and a couch. I got up in the middle of the night to find roaches crawling on the counters. I booked it for all 8 of us and was towels and rags for 2. Got HALF of my money ba k

Not too bad, but could use some attention
Initial impressions were that the place was cozy and cute.
We did have several bugs that showed up on the kitchen. I am hesitant to call them the "R" word, but it definitely made us a bit uneasy. I noticed that there was gaps around both entry doors, which is space enough for outside to come in. The house also has a very distinctive lean to it.
A lamp in the living room was not able to be plugged in (no nearby outlets). We even pulled the couch back to check, and I did find a load of mouse droppings. In addition, some of the snacks above the microwave were expired.
The bed in the "tree lamp" room was comfortable, but the bed in the other room was uncomfortable, according to my friend.
Even with all this, it was a fun place for a weekend getaway. Hot tub was great, it was quiet, and all window a/c units kept it comfortable.
My biggest suggestion would be for the owners to deep clean regularly, and seal the doors.

Weekend Stay
The house was good enough for a long weekend stay for the two of us. We slept in the room with the queen bed. The mattress was not particularly comfortable. The 2nd bedroom had a full sized bed, which we did not use. The bathroom was a bit dim, even with the light (it's on the perimeter of the mirror) turned as bright as it goes. The kitchen was adequate stocked and even offered a small basket of snacks and some coffee items. There were mouse droppings in a cupboard with foil and some other items and some dead bugs on the floor near the bottom of the couch. The hot tub was nice, especially after hours of hiking each day. There was a gravel area to park in at the top of the hill and then steps to walk down to get to the house, which was stated on the listing. Overall, it's a decent place to stay.
Based on the description of the place, we weren't sure what to expect. However, it gave us a pretty clear expectation, so even though it wasn't anything super fancy, we didn't feel like it was lacking anything. It had everything we needed and was a nice, quiet, comfortable home base while we visited a new city. Everything was clean and cozy.

Very nice stay, except....
Our two night stay was, overall, very good. My rating does not accurately reflect the property itself, which was quiet, secluded, yet very close to everything. It was nicely appointed and comfortable. The issue, however, mainly comes from the communication with the host. I sent a message a couple days before our stay asking whether the grill on site was gas or charcoal, just so we'd know to pack charcoal, if necessary. There was no acknowledgement of or response to the message. Not a huge deal (The grill is gas, btw).
While we were there, however, we noticed several mouse droppings in the silverware drawer, as well as a gnawed bag of doritos set out on top of the microwave for guests. Not the end of the world. Mice happen. I assumed the host wasn't aware. So we made sure to wash dishes and silverware before use. I sent the host a message informing them of what we found, along with photos. It's been days, and still zero communication from the host. This is the part that is unacceptable. What if we'd had a real issue during our stay and weren't able to reach them?
As I said, the rating here is more in regards to the host, NOT the property, which was quite nice, all things considered. I would definitely recommend reaching out to the host before booking to see if the rodent issue was handled, but you're rolling the dice on whether they'll even answer.
