The kitchen needs more spoons, forks and cereal bowls to accomadate large groups for the meals. It is advertised as a commercial kitchen but has no dishwasher. They provide towels but no washcloths. The outside needed help, lots of weeds in the flower beds, it was over grown and lawn needed mowed. But all that aside it was perfect for our family to gather from PA, OH and KY. Plenty of beds and compfy house. The house was VERY clean and we appreciated that. If we ever get to the area again I would not hesitate to stay here! A quiet place to stay.

We really enjoyed our stay at this house. It has everything we needed, and the property was beautiful. Jane was a wonderful host and was very easy to communicate with.
5.0 / 10.0·Nov 2021
The Alcove was a pleasant surprise. Jane was very kind to give us a tour of the property and let us know everything about it. It is ideal for a large family looking to spend time with each other. Also very close to supermarket and grocery. Ideal location and close enough to do any sight seeing and come back. Overall the property is large and spacious for everyone to have fun.
