Pros:
- Beautiful location and housing
- Plenty of space for our full group of 8
Cons:
- 2 smoke alarms had been removed from the kitchen/living areas (there were a couple more in the bedrooms, but imo the kitchen/living areas with the gas fireplace were more important to have those in)
- Pilot light had been left on in the gas fireplace, though we didn't notice till it got dark enough to see it and had to spend a bit of time figuring out how to turn the thing off
- Large amounts of dust in certain areas (vents, fan blades, some decorations, mostly up high but enough to have to clean off the upstairs ceiling fan in order to use)
- Garbage disposal leaked water when ran
Not a con since it was an incorrect assumption on our part and therefore nothing against the host/house, but just an FYI for others - no wifi at this location, and very poor phone reception. Another incorrect assumption, no AC, despite the thermostat indicating otherwise. Our trip was the second week of June, and while the temps got to around 80, the west wall being entirely window made the place heat up to several degrees more (70 outside / 85 inside, for example) during the afternoon in full sun. It wasn't unbearable or even all that uncomfortable with the windows open, but probably not a good idea for anything warmer than full sun/75 deg days.
Overall, we had a rather interesting stay figuring out the house and thought the interior/exterior was beautiful but wouldn't recommend for warmer temps/summers.
