8/10 Good

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
This was a nice house that was spacious and had everything that we needed. There were some smaller issues with the appliances such as some of the stove burners not working, and the refrigerator/freezer took a while to get cold. Communication with the host was OK, though unfortunately many of the messages were just them trying to upsell us on either early check-in (regular is 4PM) or late checkout (regular is 10AM), both of which would have been an extra fee despite not having bookings on either side of our stay. The no noise policy after 10PM is serious, and even though we were just having a small conversation outside by the fire pit, a neighbor threatened to call the police on us, so that wasn't fun. On the positive side, the dining room table is huge and can be separated into two tables, which was great for our larger group. The beds were all very comfortable and the TVs were large and well placed. Overall, this was a good stay, but not as great as we have had elsewhere, especially for the price we paid.
