Thank you for the kind words and excellent communication. Most of all, thank you for taking such great care of my mother's home - we could barely tell you stayed here. We appreciate you!

Quirky place, ideally located with a very friendly and resp9nsive host.

We attended a family reunion in the vicinity. We could walk to the venue and back. Beds were very comfortable. The place was very clean. It is a heritage home that is still in renovation, however it was ideal for our group. The host was extremely accommodating . The fenced back yard was great for the dog accompanying part of our group. Great price as well. If I need to be in the area again, I would stay again.

Thank you for the kind words and leaving the house in better condition than when you arrived. You are the reason hosts feel comfortable renting out their personal homes - 5 star visitors, and then some. Thank you again. :)

Quick Xmas eve overnight

This is our second time and once again Josh was responsive and thoughtful given we were in need of a place for Christmas Eve. The house was even decorated and nice and cozy for the holidays when we arrived AND he left us a gift of maple syrup, chocolates and a few other goodies for our stay. Having a fenced in yard makes it easy with our dogs and the house is conveniently located in the NEK. We will definitely continue to book here when we need a house to bring our dogs with us. Thanks again Josh!

We enjoyed our stay her at this house. It's an older home with some quirks which made it unique. The owner was very receptive and responsive. Great fenced-in in yard for my two dogs. Plenty of room for 6 adults and two dogs. Full kitchen.

Cannot recommend this property

We have used VRBO/Home Away for 10+ years and this is the first time we have given a property less than 4 stars. We are very respectful of the effort property owners take to maintain and make their places available to rent. But we expect that owners will respect renter’s right to get a full and accurate description of a property. We don’t want to have to do this negative review, but feel that future renters should be able to make a more informed decision than we were able to. The house is in a good location for walking/hiking and being off the beaten path. It has (as described) a big kitchen with nice size table, a good work area with nice desk, a big fenced back yard and good parking. However, what was not described or visible in any pictures is what caused us to leave the property after just one night. The front steps and railing to the house are unstable with loose boards and posts. There are big areas of the front and back of the house that don’t have siding on them. One of the bedroom doors is a piece of unfinished plywood. The back yard grass was very long and the back yard included an active chicken coop. The sliding door to the back yard was not seated correctly and took both hands and significant effort to open/close. Most disconcerting was that the bathroom faucets barely dribbled water and the kitchen faucet water pressure was low. After we left the owner said he was able to increase the pressure somewhat. The kitchen cabinets that we put our food into were not clean. There were mice droppings in one of the kitchen drawers. The carpet in one bedroom was torn and ripped. The letter the owner left for us on the kitchen table included a reference to “squatters removed last winter.” For some folks, the deficiencies we encountered would perhaps not be an issue. Once the owner completes more improvements this would be a great place to stay, especially for folks like us with dogs. But in its current state, we can’t recommend this property.

We have resolved all honest problems that you have mentioned. A couple items were completely false, but... no need to argue. The house is updated now. There's still SOME older cedar siding on the house, as the vinyl siding is not completely finishing - though, that should not affect a stay, we do want to be transparent about that. Thanks for taking the time to write this detailed review, it did bring light to a couple actual issues.

We weren't aware of any odor (and did not detect an odor after your stay... and we did clean up your cigarette butts outside, thank you for not smoking indoors), but have steam vacuumed the entire house, replaced a carpet, and now treat the home with hospital-level ionized ozone hepa units, between stays. Thanks for your feedback...

About the host

We grew up in this house... now, we are spread all over the East Coast. The eldest son maintains the property now and will assist you if needed.

Why they chose this property

It's a warm, centralized property... we love this location (thus why your host is in walking distance from this rental).

What makes this property unique

Close to everything... "kingdom close" that is (15 minutes or so, in any direction).
