Disliked: Cleanliness
This isn't a place I'd recommend, or stay again. It looked beautiful in the pictures, but the "lock" on the sliding door was a hook/eye closure, the steps up to the house are crumbling, the breaker that controlled the electric for the 4th bedroom over the garage tripped every time we turned anything on up there, including the provided space heater. The room was cold and unusable the entire time we were there.

Everything was nice. The only problem we had was that there is mold on the ceiling and the air was off when we arrived. So the air was stale and did smell of mold. We opened the doors and turned on the air which helped a little.
