We loved this house. It was charming, clean, and beautiful decorated. For anyone traveling with a family, the upstairs is really suitable for children, not so much adults, just as a heads up. Our 6 year old was obsessed with the upstairs. There was plenty of room for everyone as well. Felt very safe and would stay there again.

PLUS AND MINUS
Location and yard were great. Small rooms and a dining room that could barely seat 8 people. Many small things not working..no plunger, broken can opener, some lamps that didn't work, door opener needed new battery to open and lock. No hot water in master bedroom shower. Upstairs bedrooms too warm even on a cold day. Kitchen very nice. In general, the 8 of us made it work and had fun. The house served its purpose but not one I would particularly recommend for a large group.
