Came in though back door and was surprised to fid it unlocked. When i did find the front door, i nearly tripped because the step up o porch from sidewalk is an odd height. Home was beautiful and great area. Only other thing that ould have been nice to know was the Walnut tree. Wind was crazy Sat night and we spent hours awake n bed due to the loud BANGS of walnuts hiting the roof/porch. The first one scared me- thought someone else was in the house! Kitchen faucet was loose but we never used it so not a problem for us. Loved that the shower had plenty of towels and nice hot water! Great stay.
