Great home and location! We enjoyed sitting on the porch.
8 / 10Excellent·Apr 2026
The kitchen in this rental is the main thing that could use some attention. But the over all space is well appointed and comfortable. would definitely use this again for our business retreat meetings. we did not use the bedrooms or showers - so I cannot comment on those things.
6 / 10Average·Sep 2023
Great house for bedrooms and private bathrooms!! Absolutely a rare find if this is important. We were disappointed in the over cleanliness of the exterior of the property. We did not know how busy Rt 31 is and hearing the traffic continually was more than we expected, but this is not the listing fault. The Kitchen lacked in many areas, not quite updated as the listing stated. Overall had a dirty unorganized feel to it. There was not even enough glasses for our 6 guest. We had to use coffee cups to drink wine or cocktails. The bathrooms did not all have body soap or shampoo, had to go out an buy some. This is really a mixed review, we loved many aspects of this house but disappointed in many too. This property has SOO much more potential with a little bit more eye to details.
