Feb 13, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Honest review My family of 5 stayed at this property for two nights and came across some issues. Photos were accurate, however the description did not mention that the second bathroom could only be accessed by going outside and downstairs, which we found to be inconvenient. The circuit also tripped multiple times during our stay (unsure of the cause but seemingly after someone took a hot shower?). The location was not ideal, as it was on a busy road where you could hear the traffic loudly from the front rooms. Entering and exiting the steep driveway of the property also was made more difficult due to it being located right before a busy turn. These issues unfortunately dampened our experience, however overall my family had a fairly comfortable stay. ##### Shirley Z. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025
