Overall, our stay was good. The host was responsive and did her best to help. I contacted the host a few days before our stay to let her know we had 14 people and needed towels and bed linens for that many. When we arrived (a little early) there were not enough. Someone did bring more, but we still only had 1 bath towel per person, and only 4 washcloths and a few hand towels for all 14 of us. We also didn't have enough pillowcases. Additionally, there were only about 10 plates and bowls for us to use. We ended up having to buy paper goods to use. There was a coffee pot but we had to buy our own filters. There was also a really bad smell when we first arrived. It dissipated slightly but we could still smell it throughout our stay. We did appreciate the half bath that is located outside. With several adjustments, we were able to enjoy our stay here.

This house was perfect for a holiday get together with family. The owners even had a Christmas tree with decorations and lights for us! Lots of parking and space for all of us.
