Bad smell

From the start, there was a smell like a sewer vent. It got so bad that we had to gather at a restaurant instead of at the dinner table. I complained to the owner and they told me that it was probably smelly boots. That was absolutely the wrong assessment. We reduced the problem by plugging the kitchen sink drains for the duration of the stay.

Nice house / very clean!

I spend several weekends each year in this area and mostly stay in hotels. This property is exactly what’s advertised and very clean. Glad we found this property and would recommend staying here. Owner was prompt to reply and we had no issues with our stay. Thank you!
