Outdoor retreat
Overall the stay was fine. The yard surrounding the property was well kept and manicured. Lots of room to roam and play. One bathroom was located in the basement while the bedrooms were on floor 1 and 2. A bit of an inconvenience to go down to the bathroom. The stairs leading to the basement should have a hand rail. They are just open to the room right now. We did not use the outdoor bbq but it looked to be a good one. The upstairs bathroom had a tub but we were asked to not use it as a tub since the drain was very slow. The kitchen was well equipped and comfortable and the dining area was also a great hang out area.

10/10 Excellent
