I never contacted the host about our issue with the BBQ grill. It was so dirty and greasy, once lit it caught on fire and wouldn't go out. We found some baking soda in the house and we're able to put the fire out and decided to cook another way. We cleaned the grill but didn't try it again. There also is an outlet that is marked "do not use" in the front living room. It is burnt and it makes me nervous just because it should be fixed in my opinion. Other than that it was an excellent stay. Thank you! ##### Sally C. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Loren S.
