Dorothy seems like a nice lady though we never got to see her. She had some very generous welcoming gifts of apples, bananas, milk, juice, bread, cereal and water for our arrival. She was very responsive to any questions or issues. The window treatments in the main bedroom are beautiful, as were the two older stained glass windows, the 2 closets either side of the bed complete with lights were so nice when traveling with my husband. The fireplace was to be perfect for a Christmas trip and our stockings. When I confused her home with the one for my next trip, I parked in the driveway by mistake, but she forgave me and let me stay there for the first night. After that we parked on the street.
I really hesitated to add the but, but there were several issues most of which could easily be corrected before her next guests that I’ve already mentioned to Dorothy and she made note of. The fact that the fireplace was not functional, esp at Christmas, neither was there hot water for the “hottub” bathroom tub, were very disappointing. A motion sensor light for the driveway behind the gate would be helpful when coming in after dark.
However the biggest issue that became problematic for me was the difference of over an inch in the height of the floor in part of the hallway compared with the rest of the house. I stubbed my toe on it and fell and broke my big toe and irritated several fingers as I tried to catch myself. The other side of the rise has a very short slope to it, but the problematic side is a 90 degree angle, marked with orange tape, but in a new environment, it isn’t always enough as evidenced by the wear and tear in the tape that we saw when we were there and the fracture and bruises I experienced.
