The house was very clean just old. The only complaints were that there was smell of cigarette smoke on the screened in porch area and because the chimney flue has to remain open regardless of use of fireplace the house smells of soot. We purchased some air freshener and left windows open when we first got there and that really helped but you could almost not sit in the family room the smell was so strong from the fireplace. We overall liked the place, the location was great, and it was very clean. Just wish some updates were done to not make it such a fragile place like replace things instead of taping back together, throw away the extremely old throw pillows, change the batteries in the remotes so they work.
