Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Debbie 8 Aug 2025 Liked: Property conditions & facilities, communication The house is nicely decorated a has been newly renovated. There were no face clothes or hand towels. The fridge had spills from other guests and the coffee pot had old grinds in it. The garbage can at the road was ovetflowing and the grass has not been cut in a long time. The bed was comfy and clean , but happy to stay only one night. ##### Debbie Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Jennifer B. 19 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice house Great except, on such a busy, wavy road and with no one home, he needs to post the house number on the property. Wasted a lot of time and finally a neighbour led me to the house. ##### Jennifer B. Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### PEGGY 30 Jul 2025 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Did not like property. No where to sit and have fire. Grasd long and lots of weeds Not at all like picture Inside the toilets were not clean, hair on floors not enough toilet paper or hand towels. Would not recommend yhis place. Driveway was hidden . When we were outside, young kids driving ATV's within a foot of us. Inacceptable ##### PEGGY Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Richard F. 27 May 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### not quite "the white house" Older house recently updated but poorly completed....drywall dust not cleaned up, loose door handles, kitchen drawers that did not work properly, over the stove microwave with cord that came out and plugged in counter outlet. Spring rental, and the ants and lady bugs were sharing the space. BUT....the price was right....so lower your expectations and be happy! ##### Richard F. Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Rachel A. 21 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### One night stay I needed a spot to stay close to the ferry terminal. This turned out to be a good place to stay ##### Rachel A.
