Fine for a short stay
We originally planned to stay for about 2 months, but it was cut short due to an unavoidable water issue. The property was well equipped and in a quiet, rural setting. The actual furnishings were different from the pictures, and were pretty worn and could used to be updated for comfort. Future renters should be aware that the property uses well water. This caused issues on a few instances when it just stopped working. We notified maintenance and the issue was resolved, and she told us how to fix it for future issues, as she lives about 45 away. We were able to fix it on our own the next time it stopped. Unfortunately, the power went out because of a storm, and therefore the well pump stopped and we had no water (no toilet use) , until the power came back on. When we expressed our sanitary concerns to the owner, she seemed indifferent and told us we were overreacting and just to just wait it out. Although the power outage was in no way the fault of the owner, we felt that the way in which the situation was handled was very unprofessional, and ultimately we decided to continue our stay elsewhere. She agreed, and granted us a refund for our unstayed days. I would recommend this property for a short stay, but for lengthy stays there are probably better choices available.
