if you love the charm of an old home, this is the place for you. First of all the home is spotless. very clean and welcoming. All towels and linens were included, loved having the washer/dryer/dishwasher and all the conviences of home. along with being such an old home comes some challenges...uneven floors in most room with creaks to match. the stairway is narrow and very steep, the porches are gorgeous, but hard to use during the heat of the day. the porches were great for working on puzzles, playing games and reading. the only problem with the porches is that the sun beats down on them all day, so they are extremely hot in the afternoon. also at night the screen are not tight to the windows, so it does get buggy in there. If the owner would put up some shades and better screens it would be incredible. the first part of the week we were there was extremely hot. the owner does have 3 window units in the home and plenty of fans. But unfortunately the window units were so loud it was hard to sleep. Also, we love to be outside, and even though there was a fire pit, there was no outside seating and the grounds really needed some work. The home was fun, just counting the number of doorways and finding a secret passage from the bathroom to the laundry room was fun. It was very roomy, but located right on the highway, so there was quite a bit of traffic noise. we normally stay in Empire, first time staying in Glen Arbor which is much busier than Empire. We saw lots of wildlife around the home. Deer, turkeys, chipmunks, birds. All in all, we enjoyed our stay, but if a few improvements were done it would be perfect.
