Having seen positive reviews, I booked three nights for a short vacation. Other travelers should be aware of the following:

1. No landline or internet at the house, no signal under Verizon network, and no regard from owner about how this affects safety of a stay. I booked three nights and found after a day that my phone could not connect at all to the network, even for an emergency phone call. I verified at an Apple Store shortly afterward that there was no issue with the phone. The house is in an isolated woody area, and with about 1/3 of a mile from the house to the end of the driveway, and a couple miles to the next establishment where you might find a person or a phone, this is not safe for being alone. I was assured by the owner that Verizon has good coverage of the house with the exception of one area in the kitchen, but this was not the case in my experience. I therefore left after two days, waiting a full day to be sure that it was not possible to get a cell phone signal back at the house. The owner has refused to refund me for the one night that I was not able to stay. The owner was otherwise quick to respond anytime I had a question, and I appreciated her wanting to confirm a safe arrival, but I cannot reach her or anyone else if there is no cell phone signal and no landline or internet at the house. I purchased travel insurance, but this falls outside what it covers. I would think that the owner would process a small refund in these circumstances-- that might encourage folks to come back again-- but she did not. This also shows a disappointing lack of concern regarding whether any medical emergency or other need for assistance might arise while someone is staying at the house, so others should beware.

2. Below rental property-level cleanliness. The place was clean for the most part, but there really should not be as many dog and human hairs on furniture, carpet, and linens as I saw. Light vacuuming would pick all that up. Furthermore, while the description indicates that there are kayaks and canoes for use, these sit outside with no covering at all. Anyone who wants to use these has to also clean them.

I hope this review is helpful to others. Having no ability to communicate with anyone from the house, with no concern from the owner about this point, is the reason that I would not go back. It's not vacation if you know that if something happened to you alone there, no one would know for a while, and the owner does not care.
