House was immaculate and very well appointed. Host was easy to reach and wanted to ensure we had a good stay. Beautiful views of the woods! Like staying in a treehouse

Our stay was perfect in every way! The house is amazing. Not only is it a beautiful large house, the hosts have thought about everything their guests could want. The kitchen had everything you need to cook incredible meals (and we did). It was a lovely space to spend time with friends, while having plenty of space to step away to work in private. The house was extremely clean and beautifully decorated. The hosts could not have been nicer and made sure to check in to be sure we didn’t have any questions during our visit. This is absolutely one of the best homes we have visited and we would love to return!

6 / 10Average·Apr 2026
First the positives: The location was ideal. The house was well stocked. We didn't cook but the kitchen was exceptionally equipped. The house felt like a treehouse. The upstairs bedrooms and bathrooms were nice.The negatives: We arrived to find the house very stuffy (almost 80 degrees in the main living area) without a way to adjust the temperature. I texted the host and the temperature was adjusted. We didn't appreciate not being able to control the temperature (it was freezing the rest of the stay). My husband and I stayed in the basement room. The room, hallway, and bathroom had 10 bugs scattered throughout. The bathroom smelled like sewer and was very muggy. The host offered to send the cleaning lady the next day, but we didn’t think it was necessary since my husband just cleaned up the bugs and the rest of the house was clean. Throughout the weekend, we realized that the bugs were coming out of the shower drain, it was disgusting! We also discovered that the back door didn't bolt. The host did not seem to care when I brought this up. He did have excuses for the other concerns and actually blamed me for not telling him sooner our time of arrival. We arrived 5 hours AFTER the standard arrival time of 3PM. I gave him that info as soon as I could. The host offered us a full refund if we checked out that day and said “it would be in both our best interest if we avoided leaving a mutual review”. I stopped texting him and we stayed until our original check-out time.
