Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy

Adequate but disappointing.

The property and the house were lovely. Just enough space for everyone, and the dogs loved the open yard. However almost all the little things didn’t work. Such as: The guest tub drain.The surround speakers.The jets in the master bath.The floors were filthy. All the light switches are on the wrong light for some reason so you have to play a game before you go to bed lol. There were no balls for the foosball table.The microwave didn’t work.A hot tub was advertised in the description and there was no hot tub. And for some reason there were a lot of spiders inside. So yeah, it was a great property, just needs upkeep.
