The house had comfortable sleeping arrangements and plenty of beds and bathrooms to accommodate everyone. The kitchen is well stocked with dishes, glasses, pans, utensils, and all the necessities to make food prep easy. The house is modern, clean, and warm and cozy. It felt like home. The living area was lovely but got a tad squished with 7 adults when watched movies. That said though we would definitely stay here again. ##### Karen M. Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Bryan L. 8 May 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in #### Nice house, smells bad At first entry into the house the entire downstairs smells like smoke. Upon further search the flu pipe is not properly attached to the wood stove. When a fire is lit smoke pours into the house. One of the upstairs bedrooms reeked of urine, which clearly had not been cleaned. The beds were VERY cheap and out of a box. Easily the most uncomfortable bed I've ever been in. The location wasn't bad, it was quiet. We liked the back yard and the house was new. ##### Bryan L.

Bedrooms were large and worked well. The amenities were great and overall the house was comfortable. Kitchen and dining area were perfect for our group, and the laundry was good. Cons: The queen beds were not the best and seemed like they could use updating. Bunk bed mattress was too tall and covered up the railing. The backyard was mostly dry grass and full of pinecones, so hard for kids to play in. We found multiple spiders in the house and the garage. Neighbor let their dog bark all night until I went over around 11pm to ask them to take care of it. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sara G. 25 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### We loved it here!
