We got exactly what we were looking for...a very tidy, simply yet modernly furnished, detached house/cabin where we could vacation while still staying in touch with work via a decent WIFI connection. The bonus for us was the ability to close windows to keep our special needs son's occasional loud noises from disturbing neighbors. Closing windows and the quiet surroundings also allowed us to sleep in well beyond our son's usual 7am wake time. We loved the open kitchen/living area. The kitchen well stocked w/r/t appliances, dishware, silverware, etc. The two bathrooms were very nice/comfortable/functional. The 4K/Roku TV allowed us to log into our FUBO account and automatically logged us out before the next guests arrived. Washer and dryer easy to operate. Quiet bedrooms. Front porch great for warm evenings. While the freezer kept ice cubes frozen, our ice cream turned to mush. I emailed notice of this to Steven (the owner), who had the maid grab a mini-fridge/freezer from the garage (locked to guests) within hours. Very responsive!
Instructions for arrival and departure were very clear and easy to follow.
As advertised, the driveway is steep and there's not much space for turning around at the top . We have a car that falls between compact and mid-size but never considered trying to navigate the driveway for fear of not being able to turn around at the top, so we used the covered parking area near the base of the driveway. A bit of an effort when transporting luggage/groceries up/down, but nothing reasonably fit, middle-agers can't handle. Might be different for elderly, unfit or disabled guests.
If we had to provide constructive criticism, we would suggest fixing or replacing the kitchen oven, replacing a few mattresses and upgrading to multi-ply toilet paper The oven took so long to preheat that we gave up and warmed our taco shells to the toaster oven . Ultimately a minor inconvenience for us, but perhaps a bigger setback for someone planning a roast. One of the two larger bed mattresses is starting to sag and at least one bunk mattress is pretty flimsy. These and the single ply toilet paper seem out of place in what is otherwise a very nice, comfortable rental..
We ended up giving a rating of 4-stars. But with a few minor upgrades, this could improve to 5-stars. Thanks for being great hosts!
