Dec 31, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication Disliked: Location, listing accuracy We stayed at this property from December 22–27 while hosting family for the holidays. With 12 overnight guests & Christmas dinner for 16, space, comfort, & functionality were essential.Although advertised as a “Huge Family Retreat” & pet-friendly, the backyard lacked grass or appropriate pet bathroom areas & was not fully fenced. Items were scattered throughout the yard, including toppled planters & a fallen hammock, making it unsafe to navigate. While the bathrooms & kitchens appear updated, they are quite small. The first floor did not comfortably accommodate large gatherings, & the kitchens were not well suited for cooking or hosting meals for a group our size.Bedrooms lacked basic amenities such as hangers, dressers, & towel hooks, forcing guests to live out of suitcases. Mattresses were very firm with no pads or toppers provided. There were also insufficient towels & linens for 12 guests; some dirty linens were left in the washer on arrival, & even after laundering, there were not enough for everyone's needs. We encountered several safety & comfort concerns: some windows would not lock or open, beds were placed directly over heat vents, & the exterior foyer door did not lock. The home also lacked accessibility features, with low beds & couches, limited stair railings, & obstacles at the main entrance. We reported multiple maintenance issues, including loose toilet seats, a non-functioning heater, & water leaks under the stove & sink. Parking was limited. ![Planters blocking access to railing](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/77108767-4a0d-438c-b3a3-b8303266dc8c-1767191114553.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Difficult doors to lock](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/270264a2-75d8-49e3-8368-b9b5e3d9b79c-1767191115029.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Limited access to closet space and minimal hangers.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/94aa4b7d-8de9-4625-9668-9880246bc60d-1767191114852.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Hurbie H.
