There were multiple issues with our 12 day stay here. So why a 4 star review instead of a 1 or 2?
Because the issues that cropped up were responded to very quickly and dealt with by Charice and via her, with the owners. Charice lives a short distance away and I feel confident that she will ensure that steps are taken (maintenance wise) to avoid having others experience what we did.
I know they had recently had a long term rental and it can be difficult to know there is a problem unless the guests inform the owners, and I'm assuming this is where our problem stemmed from.
Again, Charice, upon being informed about it and a few other smaller issues, was extremely prompt in dealing with and fixing those issues, often checking with us to make sure we were comfortable with her or any service people needing access.
None of the problems had to do with the neighbor mentioned in a previous review. We chatted for quite a while and she is actually quite lovely and kind. Most of the neighbors know each other.
The entire neighborhood is off the beaten path and ends in a cul-de-sac. It is quiet and we pretty much saw deer every single day (they would often rest and graze near the kitchen window), so it's a great place to observe wildlife. Just drive carefully, especially at night, as once we saw a huge group of 12 deer just grazing along the street.
Positives:
-Excellent and responsive management and owners
-Quiet location with easy access to main road,
-Lots of wildlife
-Spacious and more modern master shower
- Nice neighbors
- Owners willing to go extra mile if aware of an issue
- Lots of ceiling fans
- Super comfy recliner couch
- Large master closet
Negatives :
- Reactive versus proactive maintenance on my stay
- Master bath open to master bedroom so it can be disruptive if 2 people share it.
- Master bath needs a ventilation fan near the shower or dehumidifier; The bedroom would get very humid when showering as it lacks proper ventilation.
- Every room is has furniture in every available space, making it feel cramped and cluttered.
- No garage access
- Other than remodeled master area, decor is very dated.
-Large kitchen appliances are very dated but work (I did not use the stove).
If you want a high end, modern place, or have toddlers, this isn't for you (lots of breakable/choking hazard decor).
It's great if you just need a quiet place to stay with your family (older kids) or small group.
