Amenities
The property did not meet our expectations, and several facilities were unavailable, broken, or unusable during our stay. The tap water throughout the house had a foul stench. When we reported it, we were first told previous guests had not complained, and later it was stated as a temp issue due to non usage and the home being on well water. The odor persisted for the entire stay, despite maintenance coming out.<br/>The pool, which was prominently advertised and for which we paid extra to be heated, was unclean and the heater was nonfunctional, making it unusable, disrupting our holiday plans. Bathroom doors lacked functioning locks, requiring someone to stand guard. Master had a leaking sink that caused water to pool on the floor, creating a serious slip hazard, especially concerning given the presence of small children. The pool table and cues were also in poor cond. <br/>We were told we could receive a refund if we vacated on Dec 31, which was unrealistic for a group of 32 people on NYE! Thank you for hosting us!<br/>Biggest Pro: Size of house, overall floor plan layout, amount of rooms and bathrooms- great for a large group! The three room options on the ground floor were perfect with elderly folks and a special needs child. <br/>Biggest Con: Internet/ TVs not working when we arrived. Tech came out next day but could only get it working in main living area. He informed us modem had been down for 7 days. Did not have internet/TV in rest of the house for duration of the stay. This was especially frustrating as our baby monitor works on WiFi. <br/>Helpful Info: This house has tons of potential as an Airbnb, but lacks proper follow through for a higher end quality/experience. Ie. there is a ping pong table but only two falling apart paddles. Fire pit, but no fire wood. Small items like random bathroom locks, lamps, lights don’t work. Etc. Also, well water has a sulfuric smell. <br/>We felt the price point should be lowered to match the current experience being provided. Ghouse

Thank you for hosting us. The property is beautiful, and the location is excellent. The front porch and the view were the highlights of our stay, and your prompt and clear communication throughout the process was greatly appreciated.<br/>I would like to offer some constructive feedback that may help enhance the overall guest experience. It would be beneficial to ensure the all amenities are regularly inspected and maintained. Establishing a dedicated handyman available to promptly address any issues would greatly improve the quality and consistency of the stay. J

Poor Host communication
Overall the place was spacious and accommodated around 50 people. The problem was the host was such a trouble to get into contact with. The listing had said there was a heated pool but from the first day we had been trying to contact the host to help us figure it out. However, they would take very long to respond and when they did, they had responded back with “the property is not even showing up under our management”. How can they rent the place out to us, but not even have it listed as under their management. With the rain, and colder temps, the pool and hot tub not being heated was trash. One of the days a pool guy came and tried to clean the pool, and we had asked him where the heater and how the process to heat worked. Yet he had a no clue and said “just wait til the evening, it should be heated by then”. It did not work. These owners lack communication and overall professionalism. Even when we went to book the place, the payment was taken to a third party site and was very shady. Be careful when booking. The house itself is super nice but this management is very shady and hard to work with.
