We enjoyed our stay because it is what you make of the situation.
PROS
- the view
- the potential of the place
- quiet
CONS
- terrible smell when we first walked in, very musty/unpleasant (ac was on). Found the furnace filter to be clogged. In my hunt for the smell initially, found replacements and changed.
- cleanliness/maintenance of the house inside and out.
- Such a beautiful view and we had to clean the windows to see it. It was weeks/months worth of cobwebs and dirt.
- blankets with holes and/or not clean.
- majority linens were cheap (really noticed because guests are expected to make their own beds)
- don’t look under couch or move anything, dust bunnies, wrappers, tumbleweed of dog hair, and cob webs.
- the dock was unsafe, no support for one section. We added rocks to support so that my 9 year old nephew wouldn’t cause a sag in the wood, with ~5ft drop. Also step(s) broken at platform.
- the range/stove is not fully functional. Takes hours to cook anything in the oven.
- beds all incredibly soft and uncomfortable.
- wifi was terrible. Had to work one day and it was easier to drive to get service.
- had to search for the outdoor cushions
We relayed the furnace filter change and that we could not find the appropriate sheets for the beds to the owners. The response was quick.
My expectations were set based on other reviews that is why I felt it important to share our experience, as well as our guests.
