3 nights May 2023
PROS:
-Friendly host
-Nice scenery
-Nice living room gathering space
-2 bathrooms (instead of one listed)
-Host washed dishes, linens, towels
-Linens in closet
CONS:
-No window coverings on almost all the windows including bathroom & the main bedroom facing street
-Does not comfortably sleep 8 adults. King bed is firm but acceptable. Queen is soft. The remaining extremely-firm queen bed, a child’s room daybed with sides, and couch/ottoman greatly reduced sleeping options.
-No coffee machine or Keurig (not a listed amenity, but I was still surprised by its absence)
-No hairdryer (listed amenity)
-8 dogs line driveway and bark frequently
-Backyard clutter
It is preferable to receive rental information at least a day before a stay. Ours was received after we contacted the host a few hours before our arrival. She informed us we were double-booked, and that the site was giving her trouble.
The property was still being cleaned upon arrival; the missing key for front door was received 45 mins. later.
**IMPORTANT: Front door will not lock with key unless handle is lifted up while closing.
For future guests, I recommend the host leaves an information sheet with Wi-Fi password, check-out procedure, and other helpful info (like how to lock the front door). We had to inquire about the checkout procedure, and we never did learn the wi-fi password.
This property has a beautiful location; it could be a great rental one day if the issues are addressed.
