Only significant issue was the stairs. Steep, narrow and no hand railing. Challenging for older folks. Fire pit and outside seating and kitchen were outstanding. Had so much fun . Thank you! ##### Shaun D. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Amanda M. Jun 11, 2025 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy It’s a nice place, but we did have a problem. The upstairs shower leaks into the downstairs shower. The ceiling was stained so it’s obvious it’s been going on for a while. So if you’re taking a shower downstairs you will have moldy leak water in the shower with you. We had 7 people and one usable shower. I messaged the host and he was already aware, but we were not given a heads up. We paid premium price and expected premium accommodations. ##### Amanda M.
