"This house was super clean and an excellent fit for our multi-aged group of nine with enough bedrooms, bathrooms, and especially seating for all in the dining/living space. It came with ample supplies, i.e. toilet paper, trash bags, dish detergent, paper towels. I especially enjoyed the separate coffee station (full pot and individual cup Keurig) which freed up counter space in the kitchen for cooking and prep. Kitchen is well stocked with glassware, flatware, dishes, utensils and cookware. It does have a steep driveway and quite a few stairs to the dock and stairs to the lower level living area. All bedrooms are on the upper floor level with the driveway. Would stay here again!"
