The house definitely has a charm all its own! We have seen that house all our lives and it was wonderful to finally get to go inside. The lack of carpet made it difficult to put kids to bed on the floor, a fact that wasn't readily obvious to me in the pictures. Thankfully we had air mattresses, pac n plays and there was 1 cot available so it worked out. There are several remotes for lights and fans in the bedrooms. They were confusing; some instructions would have been helpful and new batteries.
Having a bathroom in each bedroom was fabulous! That in itself made for a more peaceful stay! Lol there was plenty of bedding and towels. The kitchen isn't very workable but that is true to form in a house that old. Also it is minimally stocked for cooking for a large group, barely sufficient. The dishwasher is not attached to the cupboard so you have to baby it. All the appliances worked and there was plenty of room in the refrigerator/freezer for our needs. Before guests arrive mouse traps should be removed for children's safety. Older homes are hard to maintain and a pristine atmosphere should not be expected. The house has many built-ins and other architectural features we enjoyed. A history of the place with pictures would be a really nice addtion. We would have liked some outdoor facilities for activities even a picnic table would have been nice. There are none.
The basement should be blocked off, I don't think its a safe area.
As it was we still enjoyed stay.
