ok but not spectacular

The house was clean but overall pretty run down and nothing like the pictures on the website. The beds weren't very comfortable. There wasn't any soap in the shower and the site didn't specify to bring that. Usually places have soap. The internet didn't work for most of our stay and there was a cable missing for the DVD player so we couldn't even watch a movie. I probably wouldn't stay there again unless it was super cheap.

Relaxing weekend near it all.

We had a great time. The house was VERY clean and had more than enough towels/linens and kitchen utensils, pots/pans and dishes. House was quiet and close to everything we wanted to experience! Communication was clear and quick.

Clean, just close to road & lots of spiders

Cleaned very well. Closer to road than we had anticipated. Had lots of spiders which our younger daughters had a hard time with. Hot tub had some issues but the guide book helped us through those. Excellent info provided in the book. Kitchen well stocked.

Outdated and forgotten

I fell in love with the photos of this house. But these photos are old. I understand that with this house being in the country there are going to be pests and such but this was a horirble experience. We didnt get to use the hot tub because of the bees. The water also looked green. There were wasps upstairs so my kids couldnt even sleep up there. We all ended up sleeping in the living room.. The front bedroom was creepy to my whole family. I also never got a checkin email from the host. I had to call them for the code for the lock box. They never told me i had to go to the adventure shop. Everything from our trip was great except for anything to do with the house. house.

Felt like home!

Our little home away from home was so cozy! Everything the property owner explained was accurate. We did experience no wifi, but they had just had tornadoes come through. The hottub is VERY hot, so we had to let the top be off for a bit before we could get in. The beds were comfortable & clean. And the onsite laundry was very convenient! We were at every destination within about 30minutes of the house, but for the price we didn't mind at all.

Nice Basic Rental House

House was older and did show its age in a few different ways. But provided us with everything needed for a quick family trip. Pretty quiet in the house and around even with traffic coming by on the road. Perfect house for an inexpensive no frills relaxing trip.

We had a great time. Loved the fire pit area. We spent a lot of time by the fire. There is everything you need to cook if you want. If you want to get food you'll have to pick it up. We had no luck getting delivery.

Fit Our Needs for the Weekend

The house was fine, in a good location, close to parks, fishing, outdoor activities. This house is a little worn, but clean and comfortable. There were a issues with the hot tub not being clean and maintained, and there were wasps and hornets nesting it.

A nice place to stay

It is a lovely house. Plenty of space. It was pretty clean. It was in the center of all of the places we wanted to go. If I had to give one downfall, it would be the hot tub. The lid was in two pieces, the water was filled with what was likely pieces of the lid so it looked pretty dirty, and the lid was filled with a pocket of water making it heavy. Wasps were making their home in the hot tub. Other than that, it was a nice old farmhouse.

It was great to have a respite from city noise; there was more than enough A/C capacity to keep the house chill inside. A great large backyard surrounded by trees. Nice place.

mice in stove and family room

Cleaners did good job with linen but mice were a problem throughout our stay. Mice Running on and in stove the first night even with traps set . One sad mouse caught and hobbling around with trap on his body. Just awful. Slow response from Owners. Unit was said to be 3 bedroom however it is a 2 bedroom with a open area at the top of the stairs where 2 twin beds were placed, not really a bedroom. No privacy. We called because first floor bed room overhead lite and fan would not work, but they did not fix it--also a non working floor fan that was useless. Dehumidifier totally filled with water in living room. Nice hot tub but older lid is ripped up and very heavy to remove. I would never recommend anyone to stay here.

Looks are deceiving

The overall stay was great, the few downfalls to the trip were that the hot tub was dirty and discolored, the house had dust and hair all over the place and had to vacuum before allowing my children to play of the floors,and last but not least on the last day of my family and I being there we saw 5 mice running throughout the house and could hear them in the walls and ceiling

Nice weekend

This was a nice old farmhouse! We had a weekend with another couple and two dogs. The fire Pit was great and living space was big enough for everyone. We were surprised to find that we would be charged for excess dog hair despite the place being pet friendly and the spa was not hot the second night we were there and being that we couldn’t adjust the temperature, we were bummed. Overall a good experience, but some minor annoyances
