Luxury Home In The Center Of New England. 5 Bedrooms, 2.5 baths, 4,500 SQF

Thank you David. It was a pleasure hosting your team. We loved the photo of everyone in front of the Basketball Hall of Fame, long with the nice basket of marshmallows, graham crackers and chocolate bars you left us. You guys are welcome back any time.

We have successfully rented our home many times and were disappointed that this stay represents our first negative experience. Although the guests only paid to rent the top two levels of the house, I opened the basement to them as well (giving them 7 full bedrooms) as a courtesy and feel that they abused that gesture. Although all rentals are a business transaction there is an assumed level of respect in the Home Rental community which the group violated. The reservation in conection with this rating was for 6 adults but there were over 15 people staying in the house, along with excessive cars parked in the driveway. Our property is not designed for professional food preparation or commerce but the renters not only misrepresented the number of guests who would be staying but also their intented use, which included professional food preparation. No surveillance cameras are used inside the house. There are motion detectors (with no video capability) inside the home which may have been mistaken for surveillance cameras but these are not operational unless the security system is activated (which requires on-site, physical activation with a PIN). Additionally there is no 'living room sleeping space'. There are high-end sectional sofas in the living room that are not intended for overnight sleeping. The "House Rules" section of listing states: Longmeadow is an upscale, residential community with several town ordinances and bylaws that guests should be aware of and follow during their stay. There are strict leash laws for dogs and noise ordinances that prohibit any loud noise (music included) before 7am. or after 10pm. EST. Additionally no more than 4 cars may be parked in the driveway at any given time and no RVs, Campers or large commercial trucks may be parked overnight (or visible from the street). This property is being rented as an informal, guest house for vacationers and no professional food preparation or commerce of any kind is allowed or authorized. Inside the home no shoes are to be worn. And no eating on the sofas or living room carpet. Large gatherings of over 12 people are not allowed during the course of your rental." Becasue the renters violated the 'no smoking' policy, along with excesive guests and damage to the interior of the home, their Security/Damage Depost was not refunded.

Thank you Aiden. We're so glad you enjoyed your visit.
