Arrived after checkin time, but cleaning crew was still there. Had to wait. Several areas a of the home had bugs. The kitchen lacked cleaning cloths, sponges and towels. Main bedroom, mattress was awful. We ended up sleeping in the room with the twin beds.
The hot tub was nice. However there is no light outside in that area. The basement area was where we stayed the most. Because it was the only place to watch tv or movies.
We did enjoy eating out on the covered deck.

This was a very peaceful, serene Vacation spot. It was Central located to multiple Quaint cities. Please note—Be prepared for stairs and narrow, steep roads, going to the house.

The house has been refurbished and done beautifully. It includes a ping pong board which we used more often. The driveway is quite steep and require backing down as you leave as a heads up. Overall I love the openess of the home and has a large table for family board games. The kitchen is quite large with plenty of seating and we cooked the whole time we were there. We enjoyed our stay and recommend as a place for family time!
