The check in process was over all pretty quick. The other half of our party arrived a little earlier than we did and apparently the house was still being cleaned and met the owner (they believe it was the owner, his looked like the person in a picture on the wall inside) so you know it does get cleaned. The house offers a lot to do, maybe just a little too much. There were TV's in nearly every room, but we weren’t able to find a couple of the remotes. The upstairs bedroom really isn't usable yet. They're doing renovation in that area so some corner molding is missing, a switch plates is missing and insulation is pretty bad, that room is freezing. There is a space heater up there, do not turn it off. That bathroom also didn't have any hot water, the line is not connected. I mentioned that to the owner during our stay but they didn't respond to that. We moved to the basement room for the rest of the trip.
The closet in the basement is a standalone cabinet, unfortunately the bottom is falling out of it. Mentioned to owner, they didn't respond to that part. The inversion table was a weird find, but really appreciated. The space heater in that room tripped the power bar while trying to warm the room up the first time and the power bar was in the back of fireplace housing so it was a little hassle to get to. Don't turn the heater all the way up, lesson learned.
The pool was very nice. Vinyl inlay was in good shape and the water was clear and warm. There are numerous notes around the house to keep doors closed and not mess with the temperature in the room or the fans due to humidity, they are 100% on point. The doors, windows and skylights are taking abuse from all that condensation. The door to the back door was a little difficult to understand how to lock; the note they have on there is useful so it only took a couple minutes to figure out how it works. Provided pool noodles and goggles, thanks!
The kitchen has tons of plates, cups, bowls and kitchen utensils for cooking and entertaining. The dishwasher wasn't fully installed (pulled out into the kitchen a couple of inches, obviously not actually mounted) and the note in the "Quirks about the House" notebook says it only works on a one-hour delay. Not sure if that's an old note, it started fine for us. Running out of trash bags and paper towels may be a thing, was made to feel "messy" when we asked for more, there weren't spare rolls. Drove to Wal-Mart to buy ourselves.
Overall a positive experience.
