The space
My dad passed away in March of 2021 after a long stay in the hospital in which he accumulated many bills. This is his house and my childhood home. This old house was once filled with love, family, and laughter and is looking for someone to appreciate it again. Will you help me save Dad’s house?
Other things to note
The house is on a single floor, but there is one step to get into the front door.

The house is not “child proof” there are no locks on the cabinets etc.

This property will continue to have improvements between guests.

The water has some iron in it, while safe to wash and cook with, it might not taste good, so bottled water is provided under the bar.

The wood stove cannot currently be used due to safety and liability reasons.

Horrible stay

Do not stay here! I am an international traveler, backpacker, and am used to some rough accommodations, but this stay was truly awful. My friend and I booked the space for a weekend, despite reading the previous reviews, thinking it could not be that bad. The house was overwhelmingly musty, there was mold up into the windowsills, the carpeting felt damp to walk on, and least of all the beds were hard and uncomfortable. We left after one night. It felt like a health hazard to be there. Neither of us have allergies to mold, but both of us woke up with headaches feeling it was hard to breathe inside. True to the description: the house and linens were visibly neat, some appliances broken, check in was easy, and the host was pleasant. There is only sulfur water, and you will smell that across the house if you shower, but that is no fault of the host, who does provide bottled drinking water in the fridge. I have never written such a negative review of anywhere that I have stayed, but this house seriously needs to be inspected and deep cleaned before it is even ok for guests. Do not stay!

Great Location! Absolutely no attention to maintenance or cleanliness.

My husband and I stayed here 2 nights to attend a wedding. We were traveling with our 2 small dogs. The location was perfect on a dead end road around several well maintained homes but with lots of privacy. The inside was deplorable! The carpet was stained and dirty every surface was sticky. When we turned on the hot water a rotten egg smell came from the faucet. First we thought it was from the broken garbage disposal however the smell came from the hot water in every sink. There was stuff jammed into the cabinets the coffee make didn't work and the filter in the air freshener was filthy. We would have stayed somewhere else but we couldn't find another place close in time for the wedding we were attending. This listing should be removed until this place is completely cleaned and the hot water tank replaced.

Significant repairs needed

I booked this property at the last minute for only one night and should have paid more attention to the recent reviews. There are a number of appliances with signs on them saying they didn't work, the lights would not turn on and it was not clear that there were clean linens provided. I didn't feel that I could comfortably stay there overnight. I quickly assessed the property and left without staying overnight due to the condition of the property.

This Rental needs some TLC

The host was super responsive and lovely, but the rental unit itself was not the most pleasant experience. It was raining when we arrived, and the carpet of front entrance was wet. There are also stains in many places on the carpet, which isn't the most welcoming sight. The entire rental had a mildewy smell, and when we would use the hot water a sulfur smell arose.
