The size was big enough for 2 families to enjoy easily with enough space to escape the crummy weather. The house was clean and heating worked well. Furniture was an eclectic mix and bedding was atrocious. Mattresses are generally old, several of them are bowed, and you can feel springs through them. Would not comfortably sleep 13 as advertised, could possibly manage 12\. Fridge wasn’t working, initially wouldn’t cool then, after a service person repaired it, it froze EVERYTHING. Other appliances are basic and old. The old VHS player and provided videos were a fun novelty. All in all, we enjoyed our stay but won’t be looking to stay here again. ##### Ruth W.
