In general, this was a nice place to stay. We are very familiar with the location and that it was pet friendly was great. We had a good trip, but some things could be better.
First, let's review what was good: the bathrooms and kitchen were well stocked with basic supplies that were useful (paper towels, TP, soap...). There were plenty of extra blankets and pillows if we needed them. I appreciated that there was not a lot of clutter or knick knacks around, so there was plenty of room for our stuff.
What was not so good was: kind of an overall "tired" appearance of the house inside. The lighting was poor and we needed to have almost all the kitchen/dining/and living room lights on all day to be able to do anything other than watch TV. The sinks (bathrooms and kitchens) are in need of being replaced; they are functional, but chipped and rusty, again adding to that tired feel. The towel bar in the bathroom that attached to the shower door, fell off twice during our stay. I found a few large cobwebs in the room corners, the kind that had been there for awhile, not the small ones that appear overnight. The toaster only toasts one side of the bread, making it a process to get a piece of toast in the morning. Interestingly, the listing says the house will sleep 6, but there were only 6 forks and knives in the kitchen. A few more would be appreciated. The stove is old and not consistent with heating.
There are 5 bikes in the garage, but one had the front wheel off and lying aside, one had a flat tire, and one multispeed bike did not change gears. The bikes were not listed in the amenities section of the listing, but if they are going to be there, they should be functional.
I also feel that the owner could improve the listing by including what amenities are provided. From the current listing I saw there was a dryer, but no mention of a washer. The listing did not include the barbecue grill, the bicycles, DVD player....things that might make the listing more popular. Most surprising is the listing and our confirmation said it was a 2 bedroom 1 bathroom house, but there are 2 bathrooms. That is important information to make sure it is accurate.
Overall, I had a good time, and might stay there again if there was nothing better available. We like the small houses and many Sunriver listings sleep 12+, we feel fortunate to find a smaller house. I would prefer a house that does not seem neglected or not cared about.
