The home was nice and accommodated our family well. The pond (really a lake) was beautiful. The value of the home itself was disappointing. Neighbors are close, albeit all very friendly, but you can overhear conversations easily so no privacy. While the home is equipped, you could not find a knife in the house sharp enough to cut anything. The cupboard with the seasonings was overwhelming, should be checked for age of items, etc. Bedding was old and some of the mattress covers were covered in dirt. We found the dirt after two family members broke out with unexplained rashes. We ended up rewashing the bedding. While the trash was empty, the recycling bin was full and there weren't any instructions on recycling rules or laws. Coffee maker was not cleaned from previous occupants. You're expected to strip beds, start laundry including towels and vacuum which is no problem. Vacuum and broom should be replaced as they don't work. Flower baskets are filled with weeds. Rock wall was falling apart and disarray. Luckily, we did not have any children who are walking

In comparison, we just returned from a vacation in Colorado. We paid 1/3 of the price for a five-star quality home. Looking at the prices for 2024 of the Beecher Pond home, the price has come down substantially (more than half) since paying the high price we did for our August vacation.
Memories were made but we will not return to this home.
