The exterior setting is ok. The properties around the home are quite junky. It was cold outside so it didn’t matter to us. Upon check in we found the hot water and the cable TV didn’t work. The managers had everything working in less than an hour. ##### Kim M. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Michael R. Oct 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice weekend retreat Our vacation stay was good. The house was generally as advertised. The kitchen was well-stocked with dishes, glasses, silverware and all cooking utensils, as were the laundry facilities. We appreciated the small touches such as treats for our dog. The house, linens and towels were clean. Location was good as well. There were a few items that could have been better, however. The backyard connects via a chain link fence to the next-door neighbors, so there is minimal privacy outback. On our second morning, we were awakened from a sound sleep at 7:30 am (Saturday) by a knocking at the front door. A maintenance man was scheduled to winterize the irrigation system and had to access the crawl space. The noise this generated for the next 30-45 min caused our dog to bark the entire time. There was no chance of any of us returning to sleep afterwards. When reporting this interruption to the host and relaying our dismay, the response was "I'm not sure we knew that was going to happen either...I will speak to them to make sure we know ahead of time." Just a disappointing way to start one of our only two days of rest. Lastly, although the house was clean, there were quite a few spiders, ants and stray bugs throughout. ##### Michael R.
