Thanks so much! We would love to have you guys come again!!
Had an overall great experience at the property. Could be that I missed it but we were not aware that the owners live in the basement of the property and that their entrance can see into the kitchen and can just come up into the living room. Only found that out after the booking was completed and it was a non refundable booking. But thankfully the owners were away so we didn’t have to worry about making noise as we were there for a weekend getaway 6 friends part of a bachelors . Not that it would have been an issue if they were home as From the communications we had they seem like lovely people :). Lovely property. Having a pool and a hot tub was amazing. 2 queen beds were comfy, bunk beds not so much but still not bad. Kitchen was spacious and had everything we needed . The oven a bit dirty and a few dishes had to be rewashed but completely fine. It had an airfryer so very happy about that and many ways to make coffee. There is ac units in every bedroom and at times were very loud like waking you up at night loud. . And sometimes the living room would take a while to cool down. Washroom well stocked with many towels and pool room had a lot of towels as well. We couldn’t figure out how to work the fire pit so we just left it alone and didn’t want to bother the host lol. We only used the grill once and it was fine. The checkin and out was easy and we only had to throw the garbage out and put the towels and run a dishwasher so nice and easy way to leave. Thank you

Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
Where should I start? 1st the listing says 3 rooms, 2 with 1 queen in each room & the 3rd room with 2 bunks & 1 queen bed, that’s false. There’s only 2 bunk beds in that room. There is no drawers/closets with shelves to put your clothes, the closet in the bunk room is used as storage for a baby highchair & playpen. 2nd, we were not aware that the owner lives in the basement. We were not allowed to use the backyard & we were told quiet time is 11 PM, who rents a cottage to be quiet by 11 PM. 3rd the AC is NOT central air. Nothing wrong with that but, the units have a dryer tube that leads outside, the problem with this is, they’re not sealed properly therefore there were bugs coming in through the gaps. 4th the house was not clean. My son dropped his phone between the bunk & the wall, when we tried to grab it, it fell under the bed, when we looked under to get it there were hair ties, a fingernail from someone having fake nails, a toothbrush, & let’s not forget all the dust bunnies. 5th The stove is disgustingly dirty, always smoky like something was burning. Make sure to hold the door because it slams closed if you’re not holding it, there was not enough bake & cookware & to toast your bread you have to hold the button down. Also, the BBQ is falling apart. It’s so rusted there’s literally a hole on the bottom of it & we had to get a rock to hold it still. 6th deck needs work & the pool & hot tub were always cloudy. For the amount of money we spent we’ll go somewhere else. SC

I'm so sorry you didn't have a great stay. All our other guests have truly loved this space and had a tonne of fun with their family and friends here. We work hard to make the space clean, safe and enjoyable for all our guests. While we do appreciate feedback these complaints are sadly just not holding truth in them. I'm sorry you took this route rather than reaching out to me directly.
Great experience. Very comfortable home with everything needed to be comfortable. Indoor pool was fantastic, loved not needing to worry about how the weather turned out. Great place for kids and adults. 10/10

We loved having you come and look forward to seeing you again!
The property was spotless, spacious, and perfect for an unhurried family getaway across all three generations. We loved the pool, the board games, and the sweet welcome snack basket. The host's attention to detail was evident everywhere from the beautiful houseplants to the fully stocked kitchen, plush robes, and abundant towels. We'd love to come back!
Amazing place to stay !! My family will be going back. Even with a rain day we had so much all playing in the pool area making great memories. Was great for the adults too as well we enjoyed everything when everyone was in bed. Hostess were very helpful for our first rental off vrbo!!
