The location is great if you like a more remote feel but like to be close to downtown. It’s a little over 5 minutes to downtown in the Summer (maybe slightly longer in winter due to roads). The property is beautiful and very private. We saw deer twice from the kitchen window. The house itself had wonderful views, especially from the dining room area. The kitchen is well equipped but does need some upgraded small appliances (toaster is difficult to work with and blender is not working at all) and kitchen utensils. The layout of the house with the 2 upstairs BRs and larger BR downstairs is good for a family of 4 like ours. The house is somewhat dated, but is overall a great place. We were disappointed that the pinball machine pictured in the listing was not functional. Perhaps replacing that with a newer arcade game console would be good, as the pinball machine is obviously a bit of an antique. The doors and locks were a bit of a problem for us, but the owner has plans to take care of those asap. Although mostly just difficult to use, the door to the back porch was actually completely non-functional, so the porch (where we would have liked to have eaten and where the grill is) is only accessible from the master bedroom sliding door, which is obviously awkward.
Overall, we really liked the house for what we were looking for. We would definitely stay there again once a few things are updated and fixed.
