This is the oddest review I've ever written. I'm giving it 4 stars because I think this house would be a 5 star for some people, but for us it was more like a 3. I'll explain. Mark, the owner, is very nice and easy to work with. Sometimes it seems hard to reach him, but he gets back to you fairly quickly. When we got to the house it was very challenging to open the bottom "master bedroom" lock. I had to call him for help. We looked for the outdoor grill, bringing food to barbeque with us for 4 nights - another call. BBQ was broken and had not been replaced. We had to buy a grill on our first night. The other couple who had planned to come with our family backed out at the last minute, which meant that for us (mom and dad of teen girls) in order to use the master bedroom, it is outside the main house, a walk down the stairs and into a separate apartment, with no cell service, leaving the girls alone upstairs. There is no direct hallway or connection. This was not what we wanted at all. There was another bedroom upstairs, but it's a queen, and with my husband's c-pap machine we must have a king bed. So that part didn't work for us. The beds (all of them) were all super firm, like sleeping on cement slabs, and we had backaches each morning. However, if you like firm beds, the sheets were beautiful, the furnishings were new and upgraded, and the look of the home is nice and warm. It advertises a well appointed kitchen. There was one (metal) frying pan only (that everything stuck to regardless of spray). We had to buy a frying pan and griddle in order to make pancakes and bacon. No baking sheet for things in the oven except for casserole dishes. Nice dishes and coffee maker, but no juice glasses, only pint glasses or coffee mugs (another purchase). The house does not have air conditioning, it has a blower that tries to cool the home, but it was very hot and no one got much sleep - certainly not under sheets. The blower is also very loud. The fabulous deck is almost worth not mentioning the rest. The deck has gorgeous comfy chairs, lights in the trees, and is peaceful and quiet. We all sat there each night until bed talking and enjoying the solitude under the trees and stars on the deck. This home would be great for people who like very firm mattresses, in cooler weather, who can sleep in queen beds and have a separate private "in law" type unit. If you want a king bed and be in the same house as your kiddos, this is not the place to stay.
