Nice stay with little surprise
We enjoyed our stay at this cozy house for our Thanksgiving break. The property manager was easy to communicate over their app / phone / email, (though my early query about snow chain requirement sent via vrbo was never answered. Actually the slope to the property was pretty steep and I guess snow chain or AWD was a must during snowy days). The house was well maintained, while it was aged. We were puzzled to see some tiny nuts in a couple of beds on the first day. Neither the property manager nor the owner had any clue and they refunded the clean fee to us. On the checkout day, we realized that it could be some chipmunks who stored their food.. And our kids even claimed they saw rats in the garage.
