Ben is a lovely host: he is available to answer questions and has lots of recommendations about things to do in the area.
The property is an old farmhouse that has had several generations of reparations done to it. It’s got its charms but hasn’t been well-maintained throughout its lifetime (for example, the rusty smell of the water in the bathroom).
The house is chock full of stuff, which makes it virtually impossible to clean. The upstairs bedrooms smell musty, although the bedding was clean. There is dust throughout the house and an over abundance of items on shelves, in drawers, in cabinets and closets, and on hooks that really need to go into storage in order to make it welcoming and clean for guests.
It wasn’t an issue for us but be aware that the house is off a dirt road that is sometimes used for logging and so there are potholes.
