There isn't any AC in the house which was difficult for our 5 year old and parents over the age of 70 in middle July. The guest bedroom was a lot smaller than the pictures showed. The basement seemed very outdated and somewhat of a wasted space. ##### James R. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Isaiah G.
