Adorable property lovingly decorated (although it was late February and all the Christmas stuff was still up - so many lights indoors and out that we couldn't figure out how to turn them all off at night- a bit annoying). Overall well done. Beautiful kitchen and living room but no working fireplace and NO tv downstairs anywhere. Only tv is a small one upstairs, so not convenient for those who may want to stay up watching if someone up there is ready for bed.
Location was great, the homeowner was obviously proud of the place and gave a literal hour tour pointing out every item and picture and such. Sweet, but we needed to meet some people and couldn't get away. This place is stocked with plenty of great linen but very hard beds so we all 3 had backaches.
There is a fire pit in the back yard but the back door is like Ft. Knox and we never could get it to open at all - and the front door had a combination lock on it but no way to dead bolt it from the inside at night so we three women were a bit worried, both about someone coming in the front and being able to get out the back in case of fire. And it was a bit creepy having to go all the way around to the back of the house in the dark at night (no side lights at all)
I did report to the owner that I had two black widow spiders IN my bed and also obviously a mouse (or something of the sort) in my room - a never opened bag of candy was eaten into and scattered on the floor. But she never acknowledged the message. I don't hold her responsible - the country has critters, but I thought she would probably want to spray and was just trying to help. Black widows in the bed made for restless sleep the next couple of nights.
The kitchen was well appointed except for working can opener and had trouble with stove elements not working properly. But the looks of the place were great.
I don't mean to sound like a negative Nellie - things happen, but we 3 stay in rented homes several times a year with almost never a problem. All-in-all, the house was really cute and would be just about perfect with a few fans added for some breeze, at least one tv downstairs and the ability to get out that backdoor (dangerous). The size of the house was great - could have slept a big family- would be a good holiday place - especially since they put up oodles of Christmas decorations - even a couple of trees. My girlfriends and I had a great time in Georgetown and hanging out in the farmhouse for the weekend.
