Thanks for staying with us Gil. If you had read the instructions I sent you, you would have know to park behind the home. I send the same instructions to everyone. I’m sorry that finding the door was problematic for you but you would have found it easier if you had followed the checkin instructions. The house is in a current stage of renovation due to its age. A house built in 1949 always needs something updated or repaired. While things are not prefect, they do impact your stay or your comfort. Your dates of stay were before our outdoor season so the yard was not at its best. Winter can be hard on a yard. The screen porch furniture was a lot due to storing furniture out of the weather for the winter. I’m glad you had some nice days during your visit but the outside patio was open for use. The cushions do stay out because we never know what the weather will be and the cushions dry fast. We had tried to store them but people wouldn’t read to know where to find them, causing another issue. Most of our guest love our home as is. I am sorry a few misplaced paint issues spoiled the decor for you. It’s been a work in progress. I wish you could have seen it before we started. You would appreciate it more now. Please come back to Edenton again and try another home. There are many homes in the area for you to explore. I hope you will find one that is up to your standards. Melody
