Two major negative issues :
1- The main refrigerator was intermittently on the blink and the freezer defrosted and spoiled a lot of the meat we brought. Which we had to replace at a cost of time and money.
2- The washing downstairs almost caught on fire and the smoke drove us out until it could be expunged. The washer's breaker was shut off and then the washer unplugged.
Additionally:
3- The dryer upstairs didn't work. Causing us to shuttle up and down.
4- The main meeting area/kitchen/dining area was extremely hot and uncomfortable.
5- The property manger was mostly only available by text and unable to provide any solution, except to relay my complaints to the owner.
6- The BBQ grilled needed to be completely cleaned because of the extreme buildup of grease and rust, representing a fire hazard.
7- There were many thorn bushes in the yard that we had to try to trim back so no one would get hurt.
8- My children and grandchildren were pressed into work mode to overcome the problems, instead of enjoying a carefree holiday.
A response would be appreciated.
Thank you
Paul Flynn

The property manager needs to do three things before ever renting the basement floor of this house again :
⁃ go through with a duster to remove all the spiderwebs from the windows – (include the mudroom window while you're at it)
⁃ add a dehumidifier to remove the smell of cat pee and mold
⁃ Remove one bedroom from the listing because the back bedroom in the basement isn't a legal bedroom since there is no second egress.
- Provide more towels! We didn't have enough for everyone to have their own.
If I ignore everything in the basement, the first and second the floors of the house were fine! We enjoyed our time. However, there are several repairs that have gone unaddressed:
⁃ Replace the first floor refrigerator
⁃ Fix the igniter in the first floor kitchen stove top
⁃ Fix the basement dryer and get the second floor dryer serviced – it takes 2+hours to dry a load of laundry
If they do plan to rent the basement again, I strongly suggest:
⁃ Live in the basement for 24 hours and you realize you need to level the toilet, add a hand towel rack in the half bath, add a hand towel rack in the full bath, finish the walls in the laundry room
⁃ Finish the two construction zones (shower and sauna) in the basement game room
To their credit, when we reached out to the property manager, he did respond immediately to the broken fridge with a new temporary fridge and sent cleaners while we were out. The other things are just hard to fix with a bandaid.

Very nice house and the house is really big
The house was beautiful and made for a great place for us to spend time with family. Open concept and huge kitchen was perfect for our family dinner nights. We loved it!

The place was great. Big house with lots of moving parts so be sure to read house instructions (for heat, arcade, etc.) Very close to Waterville and family friendly.
