The Good:
The owners were available and quickly responded at all times.
The house was clean.
You are yards from the river on the other side of the street and surrounded by the mountains/ forest.
What wasn't right for us and the not-so-good:
As a family with a 4 y.o., 2 y.o., and 6 month old, this just wasn't the right fit for us. There were too many things in the house that we had to keep moving around because the 2 y.o. gets her hands on everything and we didn't want anything to break. We actually left after the first night because of this and the fact the some dog was barking aggressively throughout the night making sleep rather difficult (I do not blame the owners for this, but at one point it went on for nearly 2 hours straight).
Upon arrival, the house outside of the house was not lit up and it was near pitch black out. I struggled to find the driveway and the tires spun quite a bit at first getting to the parking area. Once parked, you have to walk a slight grass hill to the steps. This was difficult with little ones and luggage and lack of light (we had turned on the porch lights by this time).
While the place does have three rooms with beds, there is really only one true bedroom with a door. The bunk beds are on second level once you get atop the stairs and the third room (which seems to be a converted attic/crawl space - tall enough for kids) is accessed on a type of "witches" ladder, which my 2 y.o. couldn't access without help.
While the house was very clean, we were overwhelmed by the glade plug-ins. The next morning we were woken up by something running around the house. Turned out to be two friendly dogs who were trying to get into the property. While tagged, no owners were in sight. They played with my kids as we packed up, and were still there when we left. Last thing, the house is within of another property, which is were I think the dogs actually live. It's very close and not what was expected from the pictures on site.
Thanks for the opportunity, but it just didn't work for us.
