"Different review mentioned the AC upstairs needs to be cleaned of mold - agree. We refused to turn it on. At the least, center light fixture needs a FAN installed. Only complaint. Didn't ruin our great time there. Beautiful deck, location was perfect, amenities were plentiful, very spacious rooms, everything was fully explained (notes) or if not - host was always available thru text. We are definitely keeping it on our "SAVED" list!! * not handicap friendly .. no bedroom access for wheelchair, cane/walker have a flight and half of narrow stairs. Good railing system.

The house had good parking for 2 cars and was in a great location making it easy to go back and forth to town. There was so much to keep our 5 and 7 year old grandkids busy all week. The beds were very comfortable- only 2 bedrooms had dressers so it was a slight inconvenience to not have drawer space for clothes."
