Families! Stocked with children's toys, "sports ball basket", boots to wade in the creek, bug spray!
We would stay here again if we are in the area. Plenty of room for all of us. In addition to the toys and balls, many interesting books and magazines to read. Great collection of board games. Quite the collection of liquor from former guests. Ditto for collection of condiments. Kitchen has enough inventory of dishware, utensils, and cooking equipment to feed multitudes. Plenty of maps and brochures for ideas about what to see in the area. The mattresses and pillows were comfortable and there were plenty of new towels.
It was nice to have a dishwasher and washer and dryer available.
It was fun to have a piano to play and a fire pit to sit around in the evening.
It was so quiet!!! Wonderful to get away from city noise. On a clear night after midnight tons of stars were visible as well as the milky way.
The owner provided good information on addresses of nearby supermarkets, restaurants, and state parks.
The interior of the property was clean, but we gave it four stars because of some other maintenance issues that we notified the owner about both during the stay and after we vacated the property.
1. The lightbulbs by the front entrance were burned out. Even though there were solar lights on the path to the front door, it made it difficult to see at night when unlocking the door.
2. We already mentioned to the owner about the electrical connections to lights in at least one of the upstairs bedrooms. Her explanation, and what she suggested we do, still did not really solve the problem with the light switch.
3. There was a nail poking out between floorboards on the second floor. We put duct tape over it to avoid injury to the grandchildren and notified the owner.
4. The picnic table in the backyard had multiple nails and splinters and we did not use it.
5. The frig filter needs to be replaced - red light is on.
Might be a good idea to go through and discard the items in the packed freezer and frig door that are beyond their "use by" date.
This property is obviously used frequently by large groups who have enjoyed it as much as we did. We would happily come again.
