Also it not stated that this is a converted house to duplex with cottage at back of home. Very confusing and misleading. When I saw a car in drive gave me pause that reservation was double booked. Recommend address for duplex at road. Ant isssue at back door coming into home, recommend getting exterminator to check on this. ##### Kelly H. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2025
