Weekend Getaway

Nice home, basic necessities which is what we were looking for. The property was fairly clean - air vents/heat vents were noticeably dusty. We did wish there were more than 2 extra blankets as it was chilly at night. Also there was only one pillow on one of the beds. Adding nightstands to the bedroom would be nice. Overall, we were happy with our stay.

Gas grill, needs an o-ring on the regulator or it leaks. Uneven concrete on sidewalk, and decking needs to be replaced, be mindful of your footing.Overall, excellent. Plenty of room to spread or be all together at the same time. Loved the fenced in back yard! The propane tank was empty, we exchanged it and they reimbursed right away! Great communication and hosts! Will stay again!
