First of all, Jane was very responsive right from the get-go and all the way through until our stay was under way. She made it simple to understand a) that our reservation was confirmed, and b) how to get into the house, what the cleanup expectations were on the last day, etc.
Jane's house itself is beautiful -- a nicely remodeled older home in a beautiful, tree-filled neighborhood near the lake. We cooked our own meals on the gas stove, and all of the dishes, glasses, utensils, etc. we could possibly need were on hand for us to use.
Our family of five (two adults, three kids) also appreciated that there were 4 bedrooms that we could use.
We stayed at Jane's place on THE coldest nights of the winter (overnight lows in the negative teens to -20), so at times the living room in particular was a bit cool (though certainly not cold). It would have been nice to be able to use the fireplace in that room, but we respected -- and we understand -- Jane's wish that we not use the fireplace for fear of the house's pipes freezing etc. The nights were so cold during our stay that it would have been tough warming up that living room fully anyway, as it is connected to a (presumably) unheated outside porch.
All in all, this was a great place to stay, and we would definitely stay here again. Our thanks to Jane!
