I've thought hard about how to handle this review. This is a gorgeous house in a scenic spot. There is much to love! At the same time, the property is in real need of deep cleaning and a lot of deferred maintenance. We dealt with a mice infestation when we arrived and ongoing issues with cleanliness throughout the house. The owner was responsive and sent a crew to deal with mouse issues, but we had to live with the rest of the situation throughout our stay. It was particularly frustrating because we had a toddler, infant and pregnant family member with us, and did not feel we could give them the freedom to enjoy the house as we would have hoped. The house is filled with historic character, but it is also pretty dark inside, so we had our meals and spent most of our time on the beautiful, large oversized porch which looks out over the water. Throughout our stay and troubles, Antoine was kind and responsive on the one hand, but also defensive about the state of the house. He refunded our cleaning fee as a gesture of consideration, but I did not feel that was adequate to the inconvenience. I truly believe this place is a gem, and I hope it gets the attention is deserves so many future guests can enjoy it.
