Not impressed
The house was pretty clean, and the space was nice. The kitchen was nicely stacked. The downstairs living room was so cold and there was no wood for the fireplace. The heating was way off. In one room it was cold and the others it was so hot. All downstairs. The upstairs/ main floor where the dinning room is, it is slanted, kind of feels like it will cave in. The mattresses were really hard or a hole in the middle.

Nice and large but dated
The property was very nice but needs an update. The rooms are very large so there is plenty of room for an extended family. The kitchen was big but it was weird that the freezer is larger and newer than the fridge. There are several TVs in the house for entertainment however the included device(s) were a Roku in the family room that wasn’t hooked up and a TiVo box that also was disconnected. The other TVs had nothing and are not SmartTVs. Remember to bring your own device to take advantage of the TVs. The pool table was nice although the pool cues were slightly bent. A couple cues did not have tips. The foosball table was also nice however we had to go buy balls as it did not have any. The furniture was big, inviting, and comfortable. The outside deck was beautiful however the outside furniture was very old metal furniture that is rusting and in need of replacement. It was so nice to wake up and see deer roaming around the property every morning and we even got a glimpse of an elk family. Overall a nice place for family to meet and spend a vacation together.
