Wonderful Layout
We loved the layout of this house. Plenty of room for multiple activities at the same time. Kids playing in some areas of the house did not disturb late sleepers in other parts of the house. A super large pantry allowed us to store everything we needed for the week. The house was well stocked with soap and toilet paper so we didn't need to run to the store.
We would love to give the house a 10, but we just can't. We have a difference of opinion with the owner as to what constitutes a playground - as mentioned in the listing. We did find a free-standing bench swing, but no other play equipment. Unfortunately, we could not use the swing, as the lawn, front and back, was so full of deer poop we couldn't allow the kids on the grass at all. (We got a picture of a deer leaving more for us.)
The biggest problem for us was the uneven temperature in the house. The HVAC was not working in the upstairs bedrooms. The property manager did bring us 2 fans, but no repair person and most of the week the temperature was in the low to mid 80's upstairs. We tried to block the sunlight in those bedrooms during the day. In 2 rooms we taped up aluminum foil because the blinds didn't work. One bedroom has only skylights, no windows, so we couldn't do anything. We were able to cool down some at night with the use of the attic fan, but it was too loud to keep it on all night. Meanwhile, the basement bedrooms were freezing. Still, we trust the HVAC will be fixed and would rent again.
