Overall this was a very great space. The house is well appointed, fits a lot of people comfortably, and is super convenient. My primary reason for lowering the stars is because there was construction occurring in the back yard, with a pool being put in, and people were there during the week using very loud power tools, and flipping electricity breakers. It was distracting from our visit, especially since the purpose was as a writing retreat. Future guests should confirm the construction is complete, or on hold, while they are in the property.
