Jefferson stay

The house on the outside was lovely! Inside was nice with antique furnishings! Too much clutter meaning too many Knick knacks everywhere! The listing did not say one of the bedrooms downstairs does not have a full bathroom. It has a tiny bathroom which was a half bath. We had to use our friends master bath to shower! Wish they would have stated that! Rugs were dirty! House needed dusting and floors swept! For the price we were disappointed! Overall the house was neat but needed to declutter and a deep cleaning!

Rental fee misleading

Most importantly when hiuse was rented i was under the impression that we were renting the whole house thay skeeps 14 people for one price. After leaving property i was billed for addirional guests stating i paid for 2 people and used all bedrooms. I originally put in number of guests and VRBO changed it to two. Who would rent a house that sleeps 14 for just 2 people. I went ahead and paid the additional fee but i would never pay what we paid to rent that house for use of 2 bedrooms. The neighbirhood was very nice and it was located very close to the square. The house is very accomodating in size as well. The beds and pullows were very comfortable. The overall experience, however, had its drawbacks including the following:Kitchen : ant problem on counters, low water pressure in kitchen sink, microwave kept flipping power strip after 10 seconds.There are 5 bathrooms but only two of them have showers.Internet and cable never worked.Hvac did not keep the entire house cool.One of the master bathroom sinks had no hot water and the shower did not get real hot.Outside lights under carport did not work.The provided golf cart was a great additive but we had to spend time scrubbing it to even be able to use it. We only stayed two nighys so we did not take the time to have the owner address these issues on a holiday weekend.

This is a neat old house with a ton of rooms and sleeping spaces. We had a group of 9 girls and had plenty of room to spread out. There is a golf cart provided that was perfect to use to travel to and from downtown. We had the best time here and would definitely stay again.
