6/10 Okay

Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Great location. Beautiful backyard. Very comfortable beds. Nice linens. Loved all the books and games. Not so great: Floors were very dirty. All our feet were black after walking through the house barefoot. Ants… lots of them. Many food items had to be thrown away because they got into them. The kitchen could be organized better: I finally found the measuring cups and strainer a couple of days after I actually needed them. Not a fault of the property, but the freeway noise would prevent me from recommending. The bunkhouse was great, however, it should be noted in the listing that it’s not directly connected to the main house. We had concerns about younger children sleeping there.
