This home has great potential but it is need of some additional furnishings and maintenance. Though we had a wonderful time, there were a number of easily remedied issues that negatively impacted our experience. First, check-in was supposed to be at 4 p.m. but the cleaning crew was still there and we were not allowed access until after 5 p.m.
The main master bedroom is well furnished but the other king and the queen bedrooms had no furnishings other than the bed. A nightstand or two and a lamp would be helpful. The ceiling fan light in the king pointed upward and did not illuminate anything. The house sleeps 16 but there are only 7 dining chairs and 4 counter stools so we could not eat together. Kitchen wares were a bit skimpy too -- there were only 5 wine glasses and a few champaign glasses (unless you wanted plastic) and the plates were all chipped..
The wine fridge and basement fridge did not work at all, and the icemaker in the kitchen freezer did not work either. These are features we had planned to make heavy use of so we reported the issues on our 2nd day and were told that a work order was submitted but no one ever came to address it. The dishwasher did not clean dishes either unless you put it on heavy duty, extra, rinse, sanitize, etc. -- basically all the extra settings. Otherwise it didn't even clean the coffee out of the bottom of a coffee cup. The thermostat did not work either. The coat hook rack in the mudroom area angles down so coats fall off -- easy to fix but just indicative of the lack of attention to detail in this home.
I get that it snows a lot but the driveway was completely iced over making it treacherous to come and go, and it was impossible to use one bay of the garage due to the huge ice pile in front of it.
The furnishings in the living room are oddly arranged. There is a couch and love seat facing one another at the fireplace, but only a love seat facing the TV. As a family who loves sports, we wanted to watch football and basketball games together. In the area with the TV there is a giant bookcase that serves no purpose. If the TV were relocated to that wall it would allow you to have a full couch facing it, along with the existing love seat on the side and you could add another love seat or a couple chairs where the TV currently sits. Though we spent most of our time out of the house enjoying outdoor activities, it would have been nice to be able to relax together after dinner in the evening.
