Twin Porch Retreat

Brian, thanks again for the feedback! All issues you highlighted have been addressed. The oven clock was replaced prevent the unnecessary beeping, a gate rope installed for opening and closing latch and the faucet tightened. I hope to host you again in the future.

The window AC in the upper unit has cooled fine for all guests before and after this stay. The closet/crawl space does have a lock at the top of the door well out of the reach of children and also marked private. Most of us do realize that attics have areas where rafters might be exposed & insulation can be seen because. Given this review, I know now that people can be so curious they disregard signs/locks. I will put padlocks on both doors now to ensure safety. As a side note for those who are curious... the "personal items" inside this PRIVATE area is a small box of pictures left by previous owners that I am hesitant to toss until all efforts to reach the family of the previous owner are exhausted given precious nature of such items and inability for them to replace. The porch has double paned windows and there is a crack that I would not consider a hazard however this too will be addressed. The queen bedroom on main floor has a washer and dryer hook up covered by a curtain again no danger. As for the vegetable and fruit drawers on the refrigerator, I will investigate as I was unaware. Despite the creaking noted on dishwasher door, I promise that it is not haunted...I will put on WD40. As for the heating vents on the floor, the home is over 100 years old. The door to the porch has no issue. The living room, has one single strip of unpainted area likely 20inches by 1 inch. This happened when I went to use a sticky tape to hold in the cord for the tv... I did not like how it looked so when I removed it the paint went with it! The grass was a bit overgrown due to the constant rains. Cambridge area was hit by 5 inches of rain in 90 minutes which is good but the bad this was it was too wet to mow for nearly a week and in that time weeds do grow here in MN! The kitchen cabinets are painted black and they do show some drips of paint and smudges. I did not paint myself, the previous owner did and again, no complaints on this to date. Lastly the "junk" drawer is not junk at all it has a flashlight, a few candles, 2 screw drivers, a few light bulbs & batteries for remotes in case needed. So, in summary, I encourage you to read other reviews as this is a clean, cozy, charming house with a ton of character that guests seem to really appreciate. I did not get an opportunity to talk with this guest before/after stay. I would encourage all to be fair & 2 address issues with a host directly giving us the chance to address for you. Safe Travels!
