We were in the area to visit our grand daughter who was graduating from the University of Maryland. It was great to find a nice homey property so close to get house in Mechanicsville.
6 / 10Average·Jul 2025
The home needs some TLC. Light switchs in various rooms were broken. The master bathroom sink was without a drain plug and the bathroom mirror light wasn’t working but a stick up fluorescent light was added. The Nest thermostat had no instructions on how to operate it. The living room furniture that was two recliners with a center piece was very shaky and not hooked together. We were there with six adults and two children but only had seven bath towels. The neighborhood was fine and proximity to our family’s home was wonderful. I think with a bit of effort it will be a wonderful rental.
