House review

The house and the location were good very quiet. We found a few things that could be improved on. I only had one dish towel, no extra garbage bags, coffee Pot that only made 4 cups of coffee for a group of two people not acceptable. The bathroom items could have been left were a couple of extra bottles of shampoo and an extra soap. The fan in the master could be looked at it makes some weird noises throughout the night. The front door might need a new battery as we had to add the code a couple times to have it unlocked.. The fact there was no Wi-Fi or Internet we had no way of having a television work. We left a day early. Because of what we wanted to do on Saturday night to watch college football and could not

No hot water or toilet paper!

The house was pretty and the neighborhood was very quiet and secluded but we had no toilet paper or hot water for our stay and when we reached out to the property manager we have yet to get a response about the problems we had. We went and bought toilet paper and left the package there so hopefully the next tenants will have toilet paper.

This is a great place for couples who want to have a little vacation and be located away from everyone else. It would be good for a family getaway. The only thing that I didn’t like were the beds and pillows. Unless you like hard beds and stiff pillows then this would be perfect, but It wasn't for me. Other than that the place was great and has everything thing you would need for cooking, cleaning, and entertainment. Also, unless I forgot to ask, I did not see any wifi to connect to. None the less, I would recommend this place to friends and family.
