"I was very surprised that the property was by itself on a 2 lane road. We initially drove past it because there was nothing on the side of the road with the address. It was next to an odd and ugly"building." It was less than 10 minutes frim town, which was good. The house was clean, but REEKED of mildew. We bought stuff to help with the smell (which we left for future guests), but it was still bad. There was no toaster or microwave, and there was someone elase's Culver's in the freezer....
