Wonderful home, as pictured. Hosts friendly and responsive. Making homemade pizzas in the wood fired hearth a highlight.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Oct 2023
Our first day and night was marred by lack of heat and hot water. The manager responded in a timely fashion on day 2, getting an oil delivery and a plumber to the site. Our group all felt that should have been checked before our arrival.
The barn is accurately described as "rustic." The downstairs is open to the roof, and some insect seems to be gnawing at something in the roof insulation that causes particles to drop onto the dining table and carpet and floor. There was quite a bit of it to clean up when we arrived.
Our group was comprised of 65-80 year-olds, two with mobility issues so we needed to utilize the downstairs sofa beds as all the bedrooms are on the second floor. We were unable to locate bedding for them and had to strip a couple of the upstairs beds to accommodate them.
The kitchen equipment needed some updates: lids did not fit pots, the advertised coffee equipment was incomplete. But two dishwashers was a plus for a large group. The outdoor furniture had seen better days, and an outdoor table to accommodate a group would have been nice.
The weather and the fall colors the week we were there (first of October) were splendid, and we enjoyed walks and hikes. Very heavy rains the week before was hard on the long drive up the hill to the property. We appreciated the advance warning, the owner gave us about its' condition.
The owner was able to accommodate a late departure on our last day which was most helpful.
