House is very clean, comfortable and cozy. Beds were amazing! Couple items to note…. There are no rugs at the doors, entering with snow/wet shoes does create a mess (we made do by utilizing a blanket we had in our vehicle, capturing & containing snowy boots). No toaster or oven baking cookware (pans with wooden handles are available, but we were not comfortable baking in oven with). Again we made due, but cooking breakfast was a challenge. First VBRO we’ve stayed that did not offer an instruction sheet (no WiFi info, no tv instruction, check-out, ect). We’re of the senior discount status, so technology is not our forte. These hiccups did not deter our stay. If the opportunity arises to visit area again, we would definitely choose this beautiful home Communication & responses from host was timely.
