Summary: This was a great stay. The home was clean, comfortable, and well-cared for. It was an older home recently renovated to have modern amenities while keeping with the craftsman style history. The weather was gorgeous and we were able to open all the new windows for the outside airflow. (There is heat and A/C as well.)The supplies kept with the house were well thought out. The towels and TP were soft. Great kitchen supplies, too.What to know… As other users have stated, there is no Wi-fi at the house. (I don’t think this should impact the rating, as it isn’t listed as an amenity.) We have AT&T mobile service, which wasn’t the strongest signal, but worked for our minimal needs. The TV is satellite-based and had a nice variety of channels.Because it is a refinished older home, the hardwood floors, doors, and cabinets have a few squeaks and can be a little loud. Nothing too bad and it wasn’t an issue for us. However, if you have light sleepers on various schedules, you might want to consider packing a white noise machine.There were so many things to do in the area, yet the house felt secluded and away from the busyness. My kids are late teens and early twenties and they enjoyed kayaking, hiking, disc golfing, bowling, and eating at some unique restaurants. We also enjoyed a couple of grilled meals at the property.The hostess is very welcoming and accommodating. She cares very much about a positive experience. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Thanks!
