Great space for a family weekend. Lots of room to spread out, and a large living room area for us to spend time together. Kids, parents and grandparents -14 of us our first weekend stay in December. The house was nicely decorated for Christmas too (wonderful added bonus!!)

The host did not initially have our reservation so Was not able to checkin as they did not have the door coded and place had not been cleaned and ready for us. Eventually contacted her and she told us where the keys were (never did have the code in the door for our stay). Someone did come and clean and do laundry.

The house was great. Surprisingly quiet for such an old house. Spacious and clean. Things had been rearranged on the main floor (den and dining room swapped) which was different from the photos on here and disrupted our planned sleeping arrangements. Otherwise the house was comfortable and cute. The dumpster was almost full when we got there so we didn't know what to go with all our trash. We rented the event space and it seemed like it hadn't been cleaned in over a year. Spider webs were everywhere and there was an unfinished construction project left behind in the space. We cleaned everything ourselves to prepare for our event, so I guess this might not be a problem for the next renters (you're welcome!)

Great location & close to Devils Head. The house had plenty of space to separate but also big family room & dining room to all be together! Nice little details made it comfortable like plenty of nightlights & cozy blankets. The host took very long or not at all to respond. There was no main light in dining room so we couldn’t use the table after dark and the whole house had a musty smell.
