Clean, clean, clean. Very pleased with our stay and hosts. Arlynn was very prompt and communicative whenever I had any questions.
We felt very welcome in the lovely home we stayed in. A Christmas tree and some decorations were a nice touch. The beds were very comfortable, soft sheets and again, very clean.
The biggest issue was that there is no bathroom on the ground floor (my dad is 86), and the tub/shower on the second floor is a clawfoot, so it wasn't safe for him to shower or bathe in.
I tried to lower the heat upstairs the first night, but somehow managed to put the thermostat higher instead of lower (very difficult to work, unlike the simple thermostat downstairs), so I had to go online to find the manual at 3 am, which still wasn't helpful :( So directions on how to use the upper flower thermostats would be helpful for future guests.
Minimal pots/pans & kitchen tools, if you plan on cooking.
Since we stayed in December, we didn't venture outside, but I am sure the deck and outdoor furniture would be fabulous during the warmer months.
I would definitely recommend this rental as long as you don't have an elderly guest, or young children (the bathroom issue, and lots of stairs).
PS Since we had 6 of us staying, I was concerned about all of us fitting/seating around the small dining table, but it was totally fine.
