There is one major issue with this house - the incredible amount of flies present inside the home. I am not exaggerating when I say that there were hundreds (...and hundreds, and hundreds...) of flies inside the home at all times. I understand that this is a home in a more rural location, but I cannot understate how many flies were inside (especially in the basement). Maybe there was a nest somewhere? There were so many flies that our party could not use the downstairs bedroom/bathroom. I would say that this ruined our experience with the home.
Aside from the flies, everything else was fine. The outdoor area is amazing (pool/fire pit) and we enjoyed being outside very much! The inside of the home was exactly as described (minus the flies). The interior wasn’t dirty but there were some unclean dishes in the drawers, broken outdoor umbrellas, etc.
The host was very responsive and lovely to work with.
If it wasn’t for the flies, I would give this house a 4 out of 5, but the flies brought it down to a 2 out of 5 :(
