Allow me to just start off with the cons of the property... The house is outdated and in places in need of repair, mostly problems with the outside of the house. Such as the rock facade is falling down in certain places, the deck is old and needs TLC. The sliding doors need a bit of a push and waggle to get them rolling. Oh and the dishwasher is poor in its washing ability. Over half of the dishes had been put away dirty!! Yuck and poor experience for the new renter! Rewashing 2 loads of dishes took care of the problem, but not what I wanted to do while on vacation. The house is cold with out a fire going, there are space heaters provided and lots of blankets available but be warned, this house is huge and heating takes time! Another gripe was false advertising regarding the home being secluded... THIS HOUSE IS NOT SECLUDED!! There is another rental property right next to this house!! You share the driveway and outdoor space with them! We are high risk for covid and booked this place thinking we would have plenty of space from others, NOT THE CASE!! Also the grounds keeper started his work at 7:30 am, and while the grounds were nice, perhaps nine would have been better given that this is a vacation rental. Finally the rooms do feel on the smaller side especially with all of the large furniture in them... but there are plenty of rooms to choose from. The house overall was dirty, lots of dust, found the random sock here and there and the kitchen counters were sticky in places. Oh and the dishwasher has a leak!! Leaking from the bottom, we just put down kitchen towels before we ran a load to help save the floor. The bathtub in the main bathroom does not drain well! Last con, the steps into the main door are very tall and would not be good for someone with a disability, however they could enter through the sliding door on the main floor with ease.
Now on to the pros... the main living space is nice in layout and the seating is comfy, the TVs are smart TVs and have Netflix available if you have an account. The kitchen is well stocked and had everything we needed and then some! The view is pretty, the grounds are maintained well, the river is fast and wide, and the fireplace is amazing!! The location is great, by the highway, but far enough away to not really hear it, close to town about ten mins. The shower water is hot and had great pressure! The beds were super comfy! Overall our stay was nice, However not what we expected.
