The location of this property is excellent and enjoyable and we enjoyed the visiting the area.
However, this is the first rental that we have had so many challenges:
missing sheets and face cloths (they corrected this quickly), dirty and worn out furniture,
not enough interior seating upstairs,
dirty floor rugs in main room upstairs and all bathrooms,
the master bathroom tub had a white substance covering most of the tub and the curtain rods around the tub are falling off the wall,
the upper banister is not secured correctly to the floor (making that a notable hazard),
only one small lamp in the main living area upstairs and none in the basement area making use of ceiling lights a must and awkward when watching the television,
NUMEROUS electrical/light switches throughout the house that are unmarked and difficult to determine what they control,
I unclogged the dryer vent at the exterior vent so that we could use the dryer (to which the property manager thanked me),
one of the bunk beds didn't have the upper loft as shown in the photos and another bunk bed had a broken bottom bed (they came out the next morning to repair),
one of the 5 upper deck chairs was torn and unsafe to use,
there were only 6 coffee cups (all chipped) in the house for 15 people and the sign on the kitchen cabinet indicating that the cabinets are unsafe,
there is a taped off wire in the middle of the kitchen floor where a small table was placed,
the countertop area for meal prep was not adequate for a small group much less the group of our size,
wiping off the long dining table discolored the washcloth so that I couldn't get it white again after washing multiple times.
This property has a lot of potential to be a great rental if the owners would hire professionals to care for it and work on the house - there is obliviously no maintenance program at this rental - and it shows.
They should also update the furnishings and have the entire property properly cleaned regularly.
We annually gather as a family around the country renting large homes and are greatly disappointed in the quality of rental for the amount money we spent and wouldn't recommend it in its current condition.
