Our 2 and 6 year old boys were fans of the house—the toys, books, game, and Smart TVs available, along with a big rocking horse, were such wonderful touches. Having gates available for the steep stairs was such a relief. There was plenty of space for larger or a couple of families.
We were impressed with how nicely the older house was kept up/redone (bathrooms and kitchen appliances, air conditioners worked GREAT during the heat wave) but was otherwise comfortable and low-key. The house was well supplied and stocked (including our favorite Dyson vacuum!) and we appreciated the quick and helpful communication from our host when needed. One thing that could be improved is having curtains in the “kids” room-this was notably missing and we rigged up some sheets over the windows to try to block out morning light.
For the adults, we would have slept better if the mattresses weren’t so firm.
There was lots to do in the area during the day. Our stay was at the beginning half of the week, and we found out that a lot of the recommended restaurants are closed—word of warning! Between that and staffing shortage, we had a difficult time finding/getting served dinner, and may have planned differently and cooked at home more had we known.
All in all, a great destination and excellent choice for home away from home!
