We came for a wedding and had 6 others with us so it was just enough room bathrooms and bedrooms for everyone. We cooked dinner one night and breakfast every morning. Plenty of room in the kitchen and dining area all the supplies were bought at Walmart just 3 blocks from the house. Just to keep things more economical for everyone being we all came from the east coast. The only thing that we wished they had at the house was a bbq grill. The host was very helpful and answered all my questions. I would probably stay again if we needed.

Hi Thanks for taking time to leave a review. Just wanted give you little bit more info on towels. Our cleanIng leaves enough towels for guests. Seems like you stayed longer, so you may have run out because of your bigger group. We offer free washer, dryer as well as laundry detergents for free. I think you may have missed to see it. But its there. I wish you would have reached to me. Thbak

Thank you, Paul, for your time to review your stay. I really do appreciateyour effort. I just wanted to point out some of the malfunctions you have brought up in the review. A. Malfunction on the shower was never brought up by you or any other guests untill i see your review here. I wish you had let us know while you were there. We would have done everything possible to correct. B. Malfunction was already mentioned to you ahead of time, and you agreed you never saw our prompt response. I hope to you again in future
