Firstly, the trip went perfectly and the house was great for a large group like ours ( 18 ). The kitchen and front room were a great gathering spot, as were the 2 living rooms. Parking for 7 cars was also easy. The industrial range and dual ovens made meals very simple. Overall, it was a very nice house.
However, there were some things that we didn't appreciate as a group. Small, sort of weird things you'd normally overlook, but they made an impression on us.
1. There are no curtains or blinds in any of the bed rooms. This was the biggest issue. So basically, your wake up call is whenever the sunrises in the morning. This was supposed to be a relaxing vacation for a bunch of us who were getting our first weekend away from our kids in years, and not being able to sleep past 730am was rather disappointing.
2. The TV in the kitchen wouldn't turn on. I messaged the owner and never got a response about this.
3. The property was littered with garbage. Cigarette butts, broken bottles, beer cans, and other random garbage.
4. There were no batteries in any of the remotes for any of the TVs. We went and bought batteries and replaced them all, it wasn't a big deal. But just very strange. I messaged the owner about this and she was apologetic.
So, in conclusion, the house and property is a great place for a large group vacation, but I think attention to detail is important and these few things took this from a 4 or 5 star review to a 3 star.
