Pat and George,
Thank you both for a lovely home to stay in! The a/c was greatly appreciated, as it was so hot. Your guests will love it going forward!
We were all very disappointed that we were told we could float out in front of the house in the lake, and that of course is impossible because of all the muck and lilies. The beach around the corner was nice, but it would have been nicer to just have been able to float right out front.
Might we suggest a few things that would be beneficial to your bottom line?
1. Muck out a small area of the lake in front of the house and have some sand hauled in. Fishing AND swimming/floating would be a greater draw.
2. Assess and organize the kitchen. It needs a few basic items (i.e. knives- we bought some and left them for you, grill tools, etc) Patti wanted to reorganize it because the pots and pans were everywhere (and pretty beat up)- but your directions said to leave where it was 🤣!
3. The beds are heavenly (my hubby thought they were too soft), but the some of the sheets are pilling badly and need replacing.
4. Your deck needs the all the cobwebs/little dead guys brushed off. A lot of the solar lights need batteries or replacing. If those are switched on before the guests get there-what a lovely evening impression that would give!
5. Your backyard could be so beautiful. Perennial flowers and hostas would cheer it up and give it some color, and they come back every year which makes it easier on you. A perennial herb garden in the box you have there would be a lovely addition to guests that love to cook!
During our stay there was a terrible storm while we were away from the house. When we returned, we found the house had lost power and the winds had taken the table umbrella and carried it over the house and it landed in the front yard and broke. Although it was in no way our fault, it was charged against the required renters insurance policy. Our suggestion is to weigh the new umbrella down so that can’t happen to future renters.
We lost a/c for a while, flipped some breakers on the electrical board, and blew out some light bulbs, but other than that we all had a great time with family for Mom’s 90th Birthday.
Please know that all of this comes from our hearts, and only to give you ideas on how to improve your cute home, as you asked us. We only met Pat, and know you are such wonderful people who want the best for your guests!
