We picked this house to accomodate a reunion of cross-country friends. Some people had partners, some were solo, and this house is set up to handle all of it. Locking and unlocking the house is easy, the kitchen has a nice array of appliances to use (EXCELLENT size and quality of kitchen for cooking for friends in), and not only is the couch clean and comfortable but there was a giant beanbag!! LOTS of blankets were provided, which made the seating extra cozy. There's a washer & dryer for clothes (we ended up not needing to use it). The towels were SO SOFT ?? And they have a bunch of puzzles and games. There were 2 problems that came up during our week there, which were surprisingly handled in mere minutes (not exaggerating, I think it was 10-20min). The toaster was broken, so a very nice man traded us the broken one for a brand-new toaster, and there was a weird ant situation, where they were really just on the front stairs and one section of the kitchen counter that was completely bare. The ant thing was bizarre, but the nice man also brought us a can of ant spray until the hardware stores opened and he could get some traps. Everyone we interacted with was so helpful and kind, and they had incredibly reasonable checkout requests. I think just taking care to clean all the dishes, and to remove all the trash and recycling from the house. It didn't seem like there was compost, so we just put those discards in the trash to decompose. Definitely would stay here again!!

My only complaint was the outdoor patio was pretty dirty. The furniture dirty and old. The place when we got there was clean but looked very basic compared to pictures. The customer service was exceptional! Beds very comfortable as well. My family really enjoyed the stay!

The house was very nice, great kitchen and living area, comfortable beds, and clean showers. However, there were many little things that made the stay less than ideal. The driveway was unplowed which made it extremely difficult every time we had to leave or pull into the driveway. It felt unclean at times, with hundreds of small ants in the kitchen and master bedroom, along with a sewer-like smell in one of the basement bedrooms. The hot tub started off nice, but began to get slimy, rancid smelling, and run out of chlorine throughout the 5 night stay. Finally the VRBO listing was for 12 people, luckily we only had 10 because when we arrived, the permit for the house was only for 10 people max.

The location was a little farther away than originally wanted but the home was very comfortable and roomy. I wish we would have had access to more cleaning supplies and we could have done a better job of keeping it clean.
