I'd like to give this a 9 out of 10 scale. 4/5 isn't entirely accurate. We'd definitely stay again!
This was an easy property to find. Easy access into the property from the parking area.We were looking for a five bedroom home for the nine of us, and this fit the bill. We prefer a large kitchen to hang out in when our extended family gets away. This had lots of stools and countertop space to sit and chat while the meals were prepared.. Lots of equipment for cooking our Thanksgiving meal. Big refrigerator with good ice making capability. (yeah we've rented houses without a working ice maker - what a pain!). There was only one knob on the stove, but you can see that in the photos. We just moved it around from burner to burner as needed. The double oven was great!The huge dining table was perfect. We all fit for the meals. We could play several games at the same time with enough space to make noise and not really disturb the players from the other game. The gas fireplace was awesome.The children, aged 5 and 9, LOVED the game room full of toys and books. Beds were comfy, bathrooms met all our needs.Good communication/rapid response with the host when we had a small issue with a kitchen appliance. The only item we'd give a point off (on that 10 point scale we'd prefer) is that there was only one smoke/carbon monoxide detector at the foot of the stairs. None near the bedrooms on the upper floor. You could see the mounting brackets, but there were no detectors attached. This can be a concern in any home, and particularly one with gas fireplaces.
