Our house had to be changed and the host handled very quickly, had options. The house was decorated very nicely. Good space, except a lot of steps and the lower level was chilly. But location was awesome to the activity we had planned.

Cool old house!

We came in toTown to take a hair cutting class, this place had plenty of room for 6 very comfortably. There was already some coffee provided which is amazing and the beds were insanely comfortable!

Basic, clean

Overall the home was fine. It is well decorated. Well stocked. We originally planned for family of 6, thankfully not everyone made it.There were some very basic things missing, great table for family dinner but only 4 total. Biggest issue was the upstairs bathroom, shower. The shower curtain is only hung by suction cups, that do not stay up at all. Also the ceiling slants down, anyone over 5’ will have issues. We used it the first night and that was it.The first floor bathroom shower is very small. Shaped like a half circle. Biggest issue was the lack of washer and dryer that were in the listing. This was a much bigger problem as we booked based on this. Communication with host was not great. You never got an actual response, just very generic automated responses. Apparently an entire team gets the message.The only other issue was the bedroom windows/curtains, they are beautiful but let all the morning light in.Overall we were disappointed

Thank you for your feedback — we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We're glad to hear you found the home well-decorated and well-stocked. That said, we're sorry to learn that some aspects of your stay did not meet expectations. For your reference, both the washer and dryer are located in the basement. We’ve shared your message with our team to help us improve how we handle guest communication going forward. Thank you again for your honest review. We take all feedback seriously and are committed to making the necessary improvements to ensure a better experience for future guests.
