We stayed here based on it's convenient location to family. The house itself is nice, it's small and suited our needs well. The kitchen has a lot of dishes, almost too many, and many were dirty in the cabinets. Fridge, stove, nice big sink, not much counter space for working or cabinet space to store food (they're all full of dishes). There was also a lot of extra stuff, seasonings, foil, etc which was nice.
Our first impression was that it was hard to see the house number and driveway. The front is pretty overgrown with big bushes and the driveway is extremely narrow. If there is more than one car, they should all face the same direction or one will have to back out and because it's so narrow, you are almost brushing up against large bushes/trees.
When we went inside, we had a hard time finding the correct light switches. It should not have been as difficult as it was to turn on lights. There was only one outside light that we did manage to turn on. We had to plug in one light, turn on light switches AND the switches on a lot of lamps. I opened a door in the hallway and almost walked in looking for a light switch and realized it was a dark stairwell to the basement. Like another reviewer said, the basement door does not latch, and is quite dangerous. We took a baby gate based on that review and were glad we took it to keep our toddler from falling down, and it turned out that I almost did. The steps are also quite rickety, and the bottom one is completely broken. We needed to go down to take laundry down.
We were told the cleaning person was sick and couldn't clean before we arrived, so we would need to put our own sheets on the beds and get towels out. We paid a $60 cleaning fee, and I'm sure the people that stayed right before us did, and we were both told to take our linens downstairs and vacuum the hallway etc. If I pay a cleaning charge, I shouldn't have to clean, and I expect the sheets and towels to be ready for us. We found "clean" sheets in the drawer that had paint stains, or something on them. Also, it is quite dusty, cobwebs under chairs, etc. They need a new cleaning person, if there even is one.
This house was convenient for us and had a nice little playground nearby. However, there were some hidden fees we weren't expecting, and for the price it definitely needs a little work. The patio space looked really nice, but it was winter when we stayed. We would stay again if they put in a little work to make it worth the price.
