Overall, we had a very nice 10-day stay at this house, and we already miss being there! We enjoyed the area and had a great time visiting family. There are just a few things future guests may want to know.**Wildlife:** When we first arrived, there was trash spilled across the driveway, which is how we discovered that a bear occasionally comes out at night. We had no problem cleaning it up and securing the bags with a strap. The bear returned one more time during our stay, but thankfully, the strap kept everything contained and prevented another mess. A few days before checkout, the owners had new locking trash cans delivered, so that should help prevent future issues. Just be aware that there is plenty of wildlife in the area! We never had any frightening encounters, and watching the herds of deer was one of the highlights of our stay. Just be extra careful when driving in the mornings and evenings, as deer are frequently around.**The house:** As a place to stay, the house is perfectly fine, but it isn't the most comfortable for spending a lot of time lounging indoors. The kitchen could use some attention, particularly the cookware. The pots and pans are probably due for replacement, and the kitchen was limited on supplies. I found one baking sheet and one cutting board. There are kitchen knives, but no steak knives. Nice appliances. Dog toys and a high chair.The middle bedroom could really benefit from a blackout curtain. The neighboring property has a shop house with a very bright spotlight that stays on throughout the night, leaving that room illuminated 24/7. That neighbor can also be quite noisy in the mornings, which is worth keeping in mind if you're a light sleeper.The headboards are mounted in the center, so they move around easily, and they could use a deep cleaning. The beds were okay, but nothing particularly special. The TV was hard to hear at times.**Outdoor amenities:** The hot tub was nice and clean, which we appreciated! The yard could have used a little mowing, but overall, the outdoor space was enjoyable.**My biggest complaint:** The floors are EXTREMELY creaky. There is practically no way to walk anywhere in the house without everyone else hearing you or potentially waking up. If you're traveling with a little one, a light sleeper, or anyone who gets up during the night, this is definitely something to consider!Overall, we enjoyed our stay here and loved the surrounding area. With a few updates this could be a 5 star stay!
