I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Fourth of July week with my family everyone had a great time. ##### Roy N. ### 6/10 Okay #### Rachael H. Oct 16, 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication #### Property needs some work Overall ok. Just a place to sleep … the smell upon opening the door was overwhelming (moth balls and chemical air deodorizers)…. The house is cute for what it is, and they’ve done a good job of putting a face lift on it. The outdoor fire pit was very nice. That said, it all just left something to be desired.,, would not stay here again. ##### Rachael H.
