All you could want and more. Peaceful and relaxing. Love the backyard with plenty of seating and a fire pit. We even got in some corn hole games. The kitchen has it all. Huge fridge, gourmet stove, double oven and a giant island. This was our 4th year here for our "brothers reunion" and we have already booked it for next year.

Nice quite quaint place!The game room in the garage, the bicycles (since it was descent enough to ride) The kitchen was large, well stocked and a super big refrigerator. Loved the adjustable bed in master bedroom. We even had a fire going outside in the fire pit. We also loved that you could walk downtown, it was decorated nicely! Nice hot water too. Over all great place to stay kids kept busy which was a plus for us adults!

At first glance this property is awesome. There are several games for the family and plenty of space for everyone. However, I think for the price we paid, the house should be taken care of better. The toilet paper holders are all getting ready to fall off. There is trim up that is only half painted and there are definite dings all over the walls that need repaired. At least one cupboard in the kitchen is getting ready to fall off and some of the drawers we were almost afraid to open because they seemed stuck and we didn't want to break them. The kitchen could be a little better stocked for cooking, but it wasn't bad. The floors were definitely swept, but didn't seem like they were mopped. There is one light on the stairs that does not work and you can see brackets where there were others that are no longer there. Having these as a "night light" for safety would be a good idea to add back. The tubs definitely need slip strips. I stepped in and my foot slid and my other leg banged into the tub so hard I now have a giant bruise on my shin and it hurts to touch my leg. This is a HUGE accident waiting to happen. I saw several other people mention this in the guest book. It seems maybe these are not read, or maybe there is not a liability concern?The bikes, although could be a nice amenity need some work. Some have bent rims and the at least one the handle bars are not in a good position to safely ride. We would have adjusted them, but there are no tools to do so.

Thanks, Rebecca, for your comments. We try to stay on top of every maintenance item, so as soon as you alerted us to these, I let the maintenance crew know. They are going to head over there to repair the loose cabinet and replace the light bulb in the fixture over the stairs. I am also installIng anti-slip strips in both tubs. So sorry to hear that you slipped and hurt your leg. No one ever brought that up as a concern before. Guests really do love the bikes in the garage. We routinely service them. There is a tool there to adjust handle bars; if they need to be raised or lowered. Maybe it was not in view when you were there, but it’s usually on the table right next to the bikes. I truly appreciate you sharing your concerns so we can address those right away to make the property even better for other guests.

Good space for family and friends to gather for our daughters wedding weekend. Convenient to stores and food. Enjoyed the fire pit in the backyard to relax after all the festivities. Did have to purchase some extra toilet tissue and firewood due to low supply at the house. Overall it worked for our needs.
