A few complaints. Yard needs cleaning and grooming. Water power is sometimes a dribble. Usually when taking a shower. Bed linens, pillows need replacing. Would have liked twin beds in one of the bedrooms. 4 women in our group. Overall, pleasant stay 🤗

Disappointing
On arrival, yard overgrown with weeds. Garbage and recycling bins almost full (appears they weren’t rolled out in a while). Poor kitchen supplies: glassware and plates; dirty glasses in master bathroom. Master bedroom pillows seemed worn out and very thin. Top sheet so thin I could see through it. Holder for ceiling fan remote was falling off the wall in master bedroom and so was the towel ring in the master bathroom. Terrible water pressure: couldn’t turn on sink faucet or flush toilet or the shower almost stopped running. And the only condiments in the kitchen were salt, pepper, sugar, and a few coffee pods.

Quick Stop with the Grands!
This was a very quick stop but I will definitely look to stay here again on our next visit. Everything was easy peasy! Communication was quick! And the master king bed was quite comfy. We didn't do much in the kitchen as we were out to dinner or visiting with the grands! Great home away from home ... hope it's available for our next visit!
