House was okay! Good size for 12 adults and 6 small kids. Pros and cons listed. I’m not sure if we’d stay here again if we had the choice due to multiple other housing options in the area.
Pros:
- Good size
- Kitchen was stocked with dishes/cooking supplies
- Basement and covered porch were good hang out areas
- Secluded
- Close to Hocking Hills State Park
- Close to Walmart/restaurants
Cons:
- Electricity was wacky. Multiple lights didn’t work, especially outdoor lights - which was a pain after it got dark to not be able to see to play games/swim
- Basement was FREEZING. Multiple family members had stuffy noses/colds by the time we left. Only one thermostat on the main level, set at 72, basement was still 62 at the warmest (our baby monitors gave us this info)
- Pool is small, freezing as well, not much lounge area around the pool, lots of tree cover that blocked the warm afternoon sun
- Outdoor TV did not work. We contacted the manager about this, but her tips to get it to work didn’t help
- WiFi was okay, but service was terrible. Which was fine, but there was no way to call for help in case of emergencies. There was a landline present, but this didn’t work either.
- Minimal fridge space. On the listing, an “extra refrigerator” is listed in the basement (along with the two mini fridges), but there was not one
- Dead animal smell - was SO strong. Was better after a good rain, but then came right back. 3 of us have livestock, this smell was worse!
