Disliked: Cleanliness
Not quite like we hoped!
The house was nice but the property itself was a mess. They were trimming trees all over the property and did not pick up any of the debris/fallen branches the whole 5 days of our stay. We had 12 of us staying in one home and needed 2 bathrooms but the bathroom on the main floor (where my parents, one who had a stroke and can’t walk very well) had issues. The knob fell off causing us to go the first 3 days with only 1 shower. We only had 1 hotel size shampoo and conditioner, 4 rolls of toilet paper and 4 very small garbage bags for our 5 days on site with 12 people. Needless to say we had to go shopping. The kids did enjoy fishing in the pond and using the hot tub.
