Not ideal for large groups
While this house is very accommodating with bedrooms and bed count, there is simply not enough seating on the main floor for everyone. The dining room table was so wobbly and creaky when trying to cut your food (had to go get allen keys to tighten the table, chairs and coffee table since they were so loose), and it only seats 6 people. The bar stools are just plopped at the end of a counter, no real eating area to speak of. There is also not enough dishes for 18 people.
The living room can maybe comfortably sit 4 people and that is it. We found the space large, but poorly furnished for groups.
The cooking ware is sparse, but we made it work.
Bedrooms are comfortable and blackout curtains in place.
The house is on septic and well water. The water smell is absolutely horrendous - people didn't even want to shower. (You made need a new anode rod in your water heater). The plumbing in the upstairs bathroom does not drain and when taking a shower, it backs up into the sink. This bathroom needs attention. The master bathroom reeked of very strong smoke upon our arrival as well. Only two showers for a big group.
There are still nails in the wall, holes in the wall and old picture hangers - not a big deal, but you can tell the goal of turning this into a rental was to maximize cramming as many beds in here and a lot of details were overlooked.
The location is peaceful and the views are spectacular. A few tweaks and this could be a great venue for maybe 10-12 people.
