On the surface, the house is gorgeous. Windows everywhere and show the beauty of the property. However, the picture of the wood deck is across the street blocked off by caution tape that is NOT accessible and that is not even mentioned in the description. There is a lot of light fixtures that to not work. The hot tub is dated and was dirty with debris and not useable during our stay.
The mattresses on bunkbeds in the basement are awful! We ended up doubling them up just to sleep on them. Thankfully, we didn’t need the space.
The worse part is we lost electricity during our stay (at night) and although that is an act of God, I was quite surprised to find out there is not a generator connected to the property. The house is huge and dark, very dark at night. To my knowledge, there is no flashlights anywhere in the house. We had to use our phones for light. When I called the management company, I received a text back stating it would be restored soon (not sure how they knew that) but we were without power for about 6 hours.
Mind you, we were up when the power went out and remained up for at least a couple more hours. The house also sits on a well so we were afraid to use the bathroom or use the water not knowing how long we would be without power. But, again my biggest concern was how dark the house is and the unfamiliarity of the house (in the dark). When I mentioned my concerns to the management company they did not seemed phased by them at all. They told me it happened during the night and it was the best time for it to happen. I felt that it was was bad PR and was enough to not rent from their property again no matter how much fun our weekend was. I wish I would have read the reviews before renting but we (at the time of booking) needed a place that would house a big group and it turned out in the end we didn’t need such a big house - thank goodness because I am not sure where everyone would have slept with all the horrible slim mattresses. I hope this review will help people with their decision. On the surface, the property is beautiful.
