Summary: The house is beautiful. The kitchen is a dream kitchen, except the pots and pans needed to be replaced. Other than that, the kitchen was VERY well stocked. We bought a pan to use during our stay.The air conditioning was wonderful, much needed since it was July and very hot.The beds on the main level were very uncomfortable. We stayed on the main level, since we had our dog with us and my husband has a bad knee. Neither one of us slept good. I like a soft bed, husband likes a firm bed but neither one of us could sleep, the bed was very hard even too firm for husband. If you can go upstairs, the beds up there seemed better.The host, Brittany was great to deal with. Very easy to get a hold of and responded quickly when we reported a problem. The problem was the trash cans were full when we arrived and had tons of flies buzzing around the cans, which were very close to the kitchen door. Also, someone must have left the bathroom window cracked open, because we discovered that open window after the first couple of days. Sadly, lots of flies got inside the house, so we were dealing with them during our stay, buzzing all around us whenever we had food. Brittany sent a someone to the house quickly, and he took care of the trash issue.The house was very pretty and other than the uncomfortable beds, the furniture was very nice. The house sits back, long driveway, on a busy road, not a road that you can walk your dog on, so we drove about 5 minutes to walkable area.
