Great Location, But Not the Coziest Stay
The house was located in a great area - walking distance to the SHARC and Village. When we had an issue due to loss of power in the area, the owner responded very promptly. The washer and dryer worked great. We didn't use the hot tub or the bikes but it was a great addition.
In general, we weren't impressed with the property. There were a lot of little things that added up - no soup bowls, 30+year old crockpot, drip coffee maker vs. Keurig, no foil/saran wrap, bathroom rugs that are not non-skid so they slide making it dangerous getting out of the shower, poor outside lighting (this could be an HOA requirement to not have bright lighting), poor lighting in the bedrooms (could use new LED bulbs), etc.
Plus, the kitchen was far smaller than expected. I couldn't open the oven door without moving the trashcan. Definitely a one person kitchen.
Most importantly, the thermostat was a challenge. We'd set the heat on 68 yet we'd wake up to it being 60 degrees in the house upstairs. It would take 5+ hours to heat back up. I confirmed the thermostat setting was set to 'at home' so don't know what was wrong. The downstairs was nice and toasty - almost too hot so we had to use the portable fan.
(We did not use the wood burning stove in the den as I'm allergic to the smell and any smoke. In addition, our dog liked to smell around it so a hot stove would be unsafe.)
The only portable heater was very old. It smelled horrible hence we couldn't use it.
Wouldn't stay again.
