Great location, but wouldn't stay here again
This house is a cute older house with great location near Green Lake. While we appreciated the space it afforded us as a family, there were several issues.
First of all this house has ZERO central heating, which is unclear in the listing. Yes, it has electric space heaters for each room in the house, but when we arrived at 4pm checkin on a cold rainy day with a high of 42, the house was FREEZING. Even with the space heater turned to max in every room it took until midnight for us to shed our coats and hats.
Second, there were several items missing from the kitchen that are fairly standard in other places we have stayed through VRBO: a corkscrew to open wine (several wine glasses and a vase of corks were present though), a pasta fork and strainer, a hot water kettle, sauce pans, etc.
Third, lots of little things around the house were broken or had been repaired in haphazard ways. We realize it’s an old house, but the stairs up to the third floor attic bedroom were not evenly spaced and caused tripping up and down the stairs multiple times, etc.
“Parking on site” is listed as an amenity, but we were told we must park on the street in the area. Most of the time this wasn't a problem, but we did have to carry luggage and groceries much farther than ideal.
Finally, the smoke/carbon monoxide detector went off incessantly the last night we were there for around a half an hour at 11pm before we could get ahold of the host to take care of the problem.
