We loved some aspects of this property, esp the large and well-stocked kitchen, the huge common space with numerous couches, and the lovely deck with beautiful gardens. However, the house is very dated and in need of repairs, basic maintenance, deep cleaning, newer furniture and equipment, and upgrades to the electrical system.
A few specifics:
* The freezer wasn't cold enough and things melted, and created a constant puddle of water on the floor in front of the freezer. They also didn't have any ice cubes or even trays available.
* "Dishwasher" wasn't actually a dishwasher but a 90-second sanitizer, and it was challenging to hand wash dishes for 20+ people.
* many things were very old, dated, dirty and even moldy, including old couches (one was broken), mold on shower curtains, no adequate handle and no lock on the patio door, deck had crumbling paint and rotting wood in places, most windows in large room had broken handles and didn't have screens. The house smelled of mildew throughout.
* There was a laundry chute from one of the upstairs bedrooms to the downstairs, and it was large enough for a child to climb and fall into, and there was no latch or lock on it.
* Outlets in many places throughout the house didn't work, including some of the bedrooms and bathrooms.
* The quiet time (10 PM - 7 AM) rule, and the no-shoes in house rule, seemed unnecessary and felt controlling to us, especially since were the only ones renting this entire building/inn.
