We had a great time at this home!

The house is very spacious with beds for everyone. We loved the property's size and comfort for our family Christmas celebration. The kitchen is not very well stocked, including no large drinking glasses or wine glasses and minimal plates/silverware and baking dishes. There also is no outdoor kitchen. That said, we were very satisfied with the home!

Great House, but needs a deep cleaning and some repairs

The house was very spacious and met our needs for a space that could sleep lots of people. We found the kitchen to be well stocked with what we needed and the beds were decently comfortable. We were also pleased to see that all we needed for activities and games in the home and outside were provided.While it was clear that the home had been cleaned (vacuum lines on the carpet) we found quite an excess of dead bugs and dust/debris piles as well as some sticky spots and residue on the counters in the kitchen. There were only 2 towels provided for the upstairs bathroom where there are enough beds to sleep 8 people. Thankfully we were able to make it work, but I am not sure what we would have done if there had been more folks in the house.There are multiple areas that could use repairs or a refresh. For example, the sides of the countertops are peeling off, and there are tiles in the bathroom that are broken and dislodged. Much of the furniture appears to be haphazardly constructed and some things hung on the walls do not appear to be done so securely. There are an abundance of stains on the walls and carpets, and multiple places where it appears the tape used to keep the drywall together is peeling off under the paint. While none of this appears to impact the structural integrity of the house, it is definitely noticeable. We really enjoyed making use of the patio that wraps around the house. We spent the mornings drinking coffee on the porch swing and the evenings watching the sunset from the backyard! It was really nice!

Good house but needs to be cleaned

We stayed at this house with our large family group for a wedding that was close by in another town. While the house is great for large groups, with plenty of space to hang out, we walked in to a LOT of dead bugs on the floor through out the house. You could tell it had been a while since anyone had been in to clean the place. Throughout our stay more and more bugs came in the house- at one point there was easily 20 crawling bugs in one bathroom. They were everywhere inside! We all found bugs in our bed at one point. The kitchen is huge but not well stocked at all, for the size of the house and how many people it holds, they need more than 5 coffee cups, plates and drink ware. There are two dishwashers and sinks so that’s helpful for cooking with large groups. The TV only gets Apple TV, no antenna for local channels and there’s only one TV in the house. The upstairs is fun for hanging out and where our family spent a lot of the time, as there isn’t a whole lot of sitting area in the living room. Given the size of the room we were actually surprised by this. All in all the size of the house is great, but the property isn’t well maintained and was pretty disappointing as you pay a lot of money for a house of this size - including a cleaning fee, and it should be clean upon arrival. Lastly, there is an extremely tattered American flag that is flying out front that needs to be replaced ASAP.
