Christmas vacation

Great house. We enjoyed the location. Near town but still felt like we were in the woods. Which the children enjoyed. Especially the deer. We will stay here again.

okay

Please have maintenance address the receiver on front door dead bolt - it is too tight, causing the mechanism to try multiple times. This drains battery faster than necessary. In order to be sure we could always get in, we left a back door open just in case front door would potentially fail.
Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2024
Response from VrboOwner on Aug 21, 2024
Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the tight deadbolt mechanism on the front door. Our maintenance team will address this as soon as possible to ensure proper functioning and prevent unnecessary battery drain. In the future please know we are available 24/7 and if you have any issues please call us immediately so we can take care of if then. Our goal is to provide a secure and reliable living environment, and we will work diligently to resolve this matter.
