Ben is a very responsive host. Any problems directed to him, he resolved quickly, except for the pool. The description of the pool did not match the pool itself. It was not heated and not clean. Ben did indicate that someone would come to the house and take care of it, but no one did. We were given instructions to turn on the heater, but it did not work. We did have very hot weather, though, and that heated it nicely, but it remained green. There are only a few old, torn pool chairs and no umbrellas by the pool. Ben did say that if anything was lacking, to buy them, and he would reimburse us. We did buy a few umbrellas, but took them with us.The inside of the house is beautiful and clean. Bedrooms, beds, and bathrooms were very clean and comfortable. The downstairs accommodations did not include a double futon. The pullout sofa is old and uncomfortable. The other sofa was for one person. The Murphy bed is the most comfortable. Bathrooms did not include any toiletries, but the toilet paper was plentiful.The kitchen is grand with a very large refrigerator-freezer. It is well stocked with pots, pans, and cooking utensils. The dishwasher door needs repair, but we could get it closed. Also, there were not enough forks for everyone.Be careful walking on the back deck. It is old and splintery. The other decks are composite.The view is the main attraction of this house. The grounds and the house could use some TLC, but otherwise it accomodated us well.
