Their was plenty of space for the 4 adults and 3 children in our group. The rooms were clean, however, the beds were on the hard side. The pool table was in good condition and a very good way to spend rainy evenings. The property was is good condition except for several burt light bulbs, the bbq was unusable, and the two TVs wouldn't either turn on or get signal. Other than the minor inconveniences, we really enjoyed the property, the views and the location. ##### Charlotte L.

The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house was spectacular, and overall, the 6 of us were extremely comfortable, but it was the finer details that disappointed. The dvd/vcr was broken. In the upstairs shower and the downstairs bathroom, tap handles fell off. The range hood light didn’t work. The oven was so clogged up with fat, that when we turned it in, the room filled with fatty smoke and we had to clean the filter. The place was dusty in places, the shower wasn’t really clean and one of the downstairs bedside tables was covered in a sticky substance. ##### A guest from Bendigo, NA ### 6/10 Okay #### Marija M. 27 Jan 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Nice but needs a good clean Overall nice house, but it wasn't very clean. ##### Marija M.
