Positives:
- It was basically clean and stocked with essentials.
- Solid Wi-Fi, which was important for virtual JMU graduation ceremony!
- It was a little tight for 11 people, but it was very cozy and "warm."
Concerns / Disappointments:
- Accidents happen, but when my daughter found a dirty pair of socks in her bed, she (understandably) freaked out. Of course, this meant she was sleeping on dirty sheets....including pillow case!
- Staying there over Mother's Day weekend meant tons of pollen.....homeowner can't control that.....but the entire (huge) porch was totally unusable, since it hadn't been cleaned and was caked in pollen.
- Lightbulbs burn out.....no big deal.....but two different lights/lamps were broken. That's ridiculous.
- Having three bathrooms was OK, but only two showers (for 11 people) wasn't a good plan. Jacuzzi tub instead of third shower is silly.
- Worn-out furniture in main living area. I don't want to feel the springs in an "overstuffed" chair!
- Thousands of Cable TV channels on the box, but only about 10 were functional. We didn't make our trip to watch TV.....but, still....you would expect much more, given the location/setting/cost.
- Especially given how "aggressive" the rental literature / agreement was ("don't do this, don't do that!!"), it was irritating that the directions to the dumpster were confusing and incorrect.
- Had to bring our own propane for the grill......really?!?
Overall, for the huge amount of money we spent for two nights, we weren't thrilled. It was FINE. We will definitely look for another property for our next visit.
