Nice rental. Peter and Sue are friendly and helpful. Home was as described in the ad. Relaxing and quiet area. Hot tub was nice. Plenty of room/privacy. Well stocked. Nicely decorated. Wifi great. Owners were available via phone. We had a few issues (broken laundry room shelf upon arrival, laundry was left unfinished, lack of dry firewood, fridge not working properly and hot tub wasn’t filtering as well as it should)….but owner was responsive and we were able to resolve a couple of the issues. Jeff the maintenance man was helpful. Unfortunately they couldn’t get a fridge replacement in time due to limited availability, so we just used bagged ice to keep the fridge which worked fine. Owner said they would compensate for this. Overall it was a fun stay and We would stay again!
Other info: Restaurant selection in area is Limited in the summer. Was hard to find decent pizza. Local Chinese food was just okay. Many places closed during midweek. You are better off cooking at the home. Shaws is great for groceries! You can order groceries ahead online and pickup curbside. It’s Big time saver! 7-11 is open til midnight if you need Ice or other convenience items. Dunkin’ Donuts is close by as well.
The Road to the home is very steep in one area. In the winter you’ll have an issue if you don’t have all-wheel drive!
There are 3 stairs going into the home. No railing. but you can hang on to the pillar. Bedrooms are all upstairs. Stairs leading up to bedrooms are a bit steep and awkward (there is no railing on first few steps and a steep last step-up at the top). Because of this, my elderly uncle had to sleep on the couch. It wasn’t a big deal and He was very comfortable. But I just wanted people to know in case of mobility issues with anyone in their group.
Suggestions for owner:
Home is surface clean,but is overdue for a deep cleaning, top to bottom. The upstairs bathroom is quite mildew and the track for the shower door needs cleaning. Dusting is needed. When the lawn is mowed it would be nice if they used a bagger on the mower. Otherwise a lot of grass clippings get tracked inside the home. Hot tub control panel is touchy. Sometimes the led lights work sometimes they don’t. Sometimes the temp reading goes down when you try to make it go up. Hot tub is missing pillow pads in the corners seats. Backyard was very wet/muddy. Firepit area could use an update. A screened in porch would be nice to avoid the bugs at night. Just suggestions Thx
