Good, but not as expected.
We enjoyed the home's environment and convenient location. There was enough room to hang out comfortably with family for the holiday. We were disappointed that some of the amenities advertised were not as presented. We could not use the fireplace, nor the garage. There was a fireplace present - but as it turns out, it is not available to actually use, as the gas has been turned off. We were trying to celebrate the Christmas holiday with our large family, and were expecting to have that warmth and ambience. Same with the garage - it's December and it was a rainy week. It would have been nice to bring items in and out and that's what was expected/advertised at booking. We also struggled to complete our holiday meals, because the oven would turn itself off mid-bake - this stunk when trying to make things like christmas cookies, turkey, etc. We actually had to take meat to a friend's house nearby to use a reliable oven. The kitchen sink and dishwasher both leaked, and we had to go buy some soap for the bathrooms/showers, because there was no soap, shampoo, conditioner as listed in the house listing. I think this property needs some attention just to get all things in good working order, and the listing needs to be updated to reflect the actual experience. We made it work, but it was a good thing we knew people in the area for the oven issue, or it would have been a bigger problem. Because of these things, I thought the listing was more expensive than the value we got.
