We had a great stay and it was a perfect set up for our family. Some of the overhead fans upstairs made some noise, which made it hard to sleep and stay cool. It would also be great to have some darker window coverings. The kitchen served our purposes, but might be a good idea to add some more bowls and coffee cups and utensils. A larger frying pan would have been nice for our larger group when making breakfast and dinners. We loved the hot tub and pool and room for our boat. Thank you so much!! We will remember your home for future baseball adventures!Kim

Last minute notification on only I working shower. The house has potential but not really ready because several minor details need to be completed.

Thank you for your feedback. It’s disappointing to hear your stay didn’t meet expectations. I offered a discount as a goodwill gesture, and during the bathroom upgrade, we ran into some unforeseen issues that we are working hard to resolve to enhance comfort for future guests. I also hope you enjoyed the local farm products provided. Reviews written in this manner can be discouraging and have a real impact on small local businesses, but specific feedback is always helpful as I continue working to improve the guest experience.

The house was clean a nice place to stay. We were there in September, and the pool was not heated, so be aware of that. That didn't matter to my group. My only comment is that they had several plug in scent units around the first floor, and that smell was a bit too much for some of us, so we unplugged them while we were there. Problem solved.

Thank you for your kind feedback! I’m so glad to hear you found the home clean and enjoyed your stay. I appreciate you mentioning the pool and the scent units — that’s helpful feedback, and I’ll be sure to adjust the fragrances for future guests. We’re also exploring ways to improve pool heating for added comfort during cooler months. It was a pleasure hosting you, and I’d be happy to welcome you back anytime!
