We liked the location a lot, the log house is awesome too for log house parts. I also think Sabrina was great and to the point on responding to questions I had, was responsive and gave some great suggestions on what to do around the area. Was very happy with that. For children, there is good space to play outside, both up front, and in the back. The home was also equipped with DVDs as advertised.
The reasons I gave 3 stars are the following:
1. Some of the kitchen equipment needs updates. Example: Non stick pans are fully worn out, there was not scrubber provided in the kitchen.
2. The fridge has expired things in it, some of the spices kept in the home are also past expiration. The gives a feeling of not enough attention to detail, and in general reduces confidence of families.
3. The home needs quite a few updates to the degree that it interferes with living there. Examples
a. The toilets are all old, and one of them constantly broke. This are not that expensive fixes which a handyman should be easily able to do.
b. Windows need screens. It got hot during our stay, and if opened windows to get around it, given that there is no air-conditioning, bugs came in. So we were had to sweat out a couple of nights, this was not fun.
c. The master closets were locked. This to me is not acceptable, we want to be able to put our clothes as we were there for 4 nights, and did not have an option, we felt this interfered with our vacation plan.
There were other things like no soap provided, we assumed such things in air bnbs at this point.
The changes needed are not major, but they need to be done to really have the visitors have a 5 star experience.
