I’m overall a great stay ! Kitchen and house was well equipped. The listing did not mention no alcohol and the only time we were informed was 3 days prior to check in. It should be noted that no alcohol is allowed (other than wine) on the listing. It would have nice to have the ability to adjust the heat as some of our guests bedrooms were cold and there was no ability to turn up the heat. The WiFi was also weak which was ok for steaming a movie on a projector but didn’t not allow for many guests to logged on and multiple users having access.

The pictures do not do justice to this home. This home is massive and gorgeous. PLENTY of space for our families to have our annual Friendsgiving. The kids could play with no one getting under anyones feet. The water pressure in the showers were a little light however expected on a well. The outside area is wonderful for adults and children alike, plenty of space to congregate. Not a complaint but we had to laugh, the kitchen counters, cabinets and stove are extremely tall. The stove was almost to my shoulders and I am 5'6". There is a small stool however we used our coolers to stand tall enough to use it. It was definitely our joke for the weekend. Overall loved it and will be returning!

This is our 3rd year booking this house for our women's retreat. When we arrived the drive was a sheet of ice. We had to push a friend's car the final distance. The weather was calling for ice and wintry mix overnight, which worried us since it was already so icy it was a challenge to walk from the car to the door. The owner responded quickly about the fireplace issues and the smoke detector beep (which I had to go to Karns to buy 9V batteries for so it wouldn't beep the entire weekend.) However, when asked if someone could come salt, I received no response, through message and through voicemail. That was disappointing as we had 20 women coming and going at different times of the weekend. I ended up driving to True Value and purchasing salt in case we couldn't get down the drive on Sunday morning. If you have a property, there should be someone attentive to something like this. The conditions of the drive and the landing outside the door were downright dangerous.
