The house is spacious, clean, comfy, well appointed and fun for a family. I think perhaps it’s a fairly new rental so some things are being worked out. Initial communications with host were great, but when check in time was approaching. we didn’t get a code to check in and host was unreachable. This was quite stressful since we were coming from several locations and it was cold! Had to make alt. game plan. Once finally in, we figured out how to turn on the water, but there was a leak in the ceiling. I think with a few more months this will be a great rental situation. It just presented a few hard issues for our group. I doubt the next group will have these issues.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review—we truly appreciate you highlighting the space, comfort, and family-friendly experience of the home.
We also want to sincerely apologize for the stressful check-in experience you had, especially given the cold weather and coordinating multiple arrivals. That’s not the level of service we aim to provide. We’ve since addressed our communication process to ensure all future guests receive timely access details well before arrival.
Regarding the water and ceiling issue, thank you for bringing that to our attention. It has been fully resolved, and we’ve taken additional steps to ensure everything is thoroughly checked prior to each stay.
We’re grateful for your patience and for recognizing the potential of the home. Your feedback helped us improve, and we’re committed to delivering a smooth, 5-star experience moving forward. We’d love the opportunity to host you again in the future.
