I stayed during the thanksgiving holidays with my family and although we enjoyed our stay, we had some issues with the property. Our arrival was at night and it was raining so it was really hard to see the numbers on the houses, it took us a while to find the house along the winding road, parking is on the street and can be a problem if you have more than 1 car, house garage and driveway are not available for guests. Check in instructions were confusing, the house was very cold when we arrived and it took about an hour to get it to warm up, would have appreciated if the Nest thermostat would have been set higher by check in time, but our real issue was with how dirty the property was, floors were dusty, rugs were not vacuumed, specially one of the rooms looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in months, lots of dust bunnies, pet hair, freezer was also dirty. I sent a message to Cristin and she responded really fast, apologizing and offering to send a cleaner which I appreciated but declined since it was going to interfere with our plans, the bathrooms were clean so I did some vacuuming myself. The whole thing about the host’s commitment for an enhance cleaning stated in the property description was far from present.
I would also suggest adding a luggage rack to each room, there was no place but the floor to place suitcases, and a second night stand by the bed to set books, phones to charge, etc.
We enjoyed the proximity to the hiking trails and I am sure during the spring and summertime the outdoor spaces would make staying at this property a real treat.
