This grand home has a very interesting layout, I'll give it that! Triangular shower and toilet rooms in the master were a hoot!
Our stay was over 4 nights. Sadly, this home is run down a bit and needs TLC. The kitchen is not very well stocked with essentials that work, or are cheaply made castoffs, so if you want to take advantage of that gourmet stovetop, or want decent accessories, bring your own good knives,saran wrap, foil, and parchment paper, and any favorite small appliances (air fryer for one, good pans if you like to cook). The dishwasher did not work for us when there, even with someone coming out to "fix" it, it needed a real repairman out. We ended up washing all the dishes by hand. Good thing, since the dishes in the cupboards were grimy, and the utensils dirty as well so we prewashed what we used, and then kept going. There weren't enough kitchen towels, we only had 4 or 5 to work with. The home space is very cluttered up with stuff. Laundry room is musty smelling, and there is junk on open shelving that just shouldn't be there. AC in the sunroom did not work, or get fixed while there, but not a deal breaker since the home AC was fine. An automatic recliner was stuck in a reclined position when we got there, and it took 3 days for that to be removed into the garage. Why it wasn't removed prior to our stay is a mystery. Additionally, for a home that accepts pets as part of it's offering, the place was NOT clean. All of the open floor space in living room, hallway, kitchen etc was very dirty, so much so, our feet turned black the very first day we were in there. They ask for shoes off in the house, but that is a mistake! Who knows what we were stepping on with that floor. I had to send pictures to the VRBO team of our black feet for proof. No one came to clean it though, so we kept our shoes on from that point on. Pet hair was on carpeting in bedrooms, and bathrooms didn't even smell very good. I kind of expect to smell bleach or cleaner when I go to rentals, but never did in this home. Very disappointing to say the least.
There are no usable grounds around the house, except one small patch of grass where we took our dogs to potty (yes, we cleaned up after them). The 20 acres of orchard are beautiful to look at, you just won't be taking a stroll among the trees, as the giant boulders surrounding the home prevent that!
Maybe the next renters will get a cleaner space and encounter amenities that actually function from true repairs done to them. : /
