The house serves its purpose well, especially for a large group. Starting with the positives, it comfortably accommodates many guests and is located in a beautiful area. Communication with John was generally quick and straightforward. The working fireplace was a great feature for an autumn or winter stay, and the BBQ and hot tub, which weren’t shown in the listing photos, were welcome bonuses.There are, however, some areas that could be improved. The condition of the property doesn’t fully match the photos in the listing. The pool bar is missing its entire back section, the fire pit is quite worn, and the foosball table and basketball hoop shown in the listing were not there.We also went an entire weekend without a mop, broom, or scrubber, making it difficult to keep the house clean during our stay. Unfortunately, the host wasn’t particularly helpful in resolving this.The bedroom layout was also confusing. While the listing suggests seven bedrooms, the seventh can only be accessed through another bedroom, which significantly limits privacy.Finally, cleanliness could be improved, particularly for guests who pay attention to detail, although I appreciate that maintaining a large property is challenging.Overall, we had both positive and negative experiences. The house has plenty of potential and some great features, but the listing should more accurately reflect the property’s current condition and layout to help guests know what to expect.
