Interesting to stay with Nathan. Location is ideal and the abode is spacious but some effort could go into making the place a bit more comfortable. The lack of linen and towels reminds you that you are here as a very temporary guest, this itself doesn't evoke the warm welcoming feeling of mi casa, su casa (my house is your house). Lacking basic provisions such as coffee?! (also clean out the sugar canister, looking a bit wild in there). Addition of wifi would be ideal, we had to tether our devices all weekend which was seriously inconvenient and again an unpleasant reminder of the basic offerings.
$91 cleaning fee is excessive considering no laundering of linens or towels on hosts behalf and guests are asked to leave the place as it was found. Lack of kindling for fire, would have been a nice touch if included considering this house is freezing cold in winter. On the other hand it was lovely to have a fire after a visit to the servo to buy kindling and fire lighters. Also perhaps outside needs some maintenance as there are large cobwebs above the front sliding door (one of my girls was terrified of spiders so this was not ideal). Oil heaters were hardly effective despite heater and fire going. In all, this house would be great, in summer, if you are prepared to load up the car and bring x, y and z. House manual was handy and essential for navigating the fireplace. Nathan could definitely enlist a womanly touch to ensure the basic comforts are provided otherwise the price is not commensurate to the experience :( despite these interesting observations, we had a lovely weekend overall :)
