With this property, we were not renting a house, we were privileged to stay in someone's home. It's a 50's classic, not perfect, not completely renovated, but classic, comfortable, and complete with everything we needed plus extras. We loved it. With a lot of rentals one would find plastic dishes, flimsy silverware, and an odd assortment of towels, decorated in early thrift-shop. Here you have first quality dishes, flatware, and glassware, just what the family would have used to treat close friends to dinner. They even shared their espresso machine, which could have been easily locked in a closet for safe keeping. These folks chose to share their treasures with us, on display. We were honored. About the location. It's as if you are alone, living in a clearing in the woods but the country highway is just yards away from the driveway's end. There was a little traffic noise, but Fertile is a little town with not a lot of traffic in and out. Quirky? a little. Dated? in spots. If you let "dated" bother you, frankly, rent a house. We got to stay in a family home and thoroughly enjoyed it.
