If VRBO doesn't send an access code by that morning, you should message Vanessa. I contacted with some questions before the trip and she was so helpful and friendly!
It was a great place for my family's fall weekend 2 couples and 2 more adult sons. Plenty of mugs, glassware, plates and silverware, which is not always the case. A few things I will mention for planning sake: The coffeemaker is super slow and there isn't an icemaker in the refrigerator, just two ice trays. There is a toaster oven but no slotted toaster. There is a sign that says do not use above the fireplace.
Otherwise, it was a great stay. The beds were nice. As for those questioning the number of people, it really depends on the dynamics. Couples or kids that can share a bed, sure. There is a list of beds, so take the guests and make your decisions. Lots of spaces for gathering, in the family room, kitchen and upstairs.
The large family room has another traditional couch instead of the futon shown in the pictures, which was so comfortable. The TV is small for the room, but was fine for the one movie we watched.
The patio table and 4 chairs in the back were nice, as was the table and two chairs in the adorable little gazebo at the front of the house. The overall footprint of the yard was like a city lot and the fire pit was great, but there wasn't a large space between houses, so we would have been worried about bothering the neighbors with an evening fire.
The appliances were clean, and functional, even though dated. The upstairs bath with shower is small, but functional. It is clean, nicely furnished, and comfortable.
Thanks for the great weekend!
