Arrived to no power due to the storms the day before. We had received a call after we were on the way warning us. No power also meant no water. Fortunately, the power company arrived shortly after we did, and power was restored. The house was a nice rustic old farmhouse. It was comfortable, but we were very glad the weather was not too hot. There were two A/C window units upstairs which was adequate for the weather outside. The kids enjoyed exploring the grounds around the house. There was a lovely area with a fire pit which we did not have the time to enjoy. Loved the towels, sheets and other items provided for our comfort. The caretaker was awesome and extremely helpful!

8 of us came here with my dog for the weekend and it was a perfect trip. The photos don’t do the property justice and the host was super helpful with any questions we had. Thank you for a lovely stay!

First, I’d like to say that the caretaker was very nice and extremely responsive when we were startled from our beds multiple times the first night when the smoke alarms began to go off for no reason and woke all of our kids. She immediately texted back and stopped by to try and remedy the situation. Also let us know we could go on in when we arrived about an hour early to check in.
I feel that for the price and considering the photos of the listing, there were some issues. Firstly, the outside of the cabin does not look like the photos. It’s very overgrown. When we arrived, there was a large bucket and broom propped against the door although it doesn’t appear the front had been swept or cleaned off in some time. The furniture was also very dirty. It is clear that the kitchen, bathroom sinks and linens were very clean, so that was good. However, the floors needed to be tidied up and I ended up running the vacuum in all the bedrooms and sweeping out under the beds as there was buildup of dirt, dust, and a lot of dead beetles.
I feel that the listing was possibly made awhile ago and that the property maybe has just not been kept up to reflect it? There were some broken windows patched up with plastic and the couch had food particles in all its crevices. Also just some odd items left here and there on the property. Overall, I’d it were just adults staying, it probably would have been fine, but with kids it was not exactly what you would want. The location is good, and the coffee provided was very good. Overall, just way more rustic than the listing would appear.
