The house was generally clean and had the basic amenities needed for our stay, but for the price charged ($618 per day) we expected to find better conditions.
The house is located in a quiet location, but is situated on a very steep slope that was not evident in either the description or pictures posted. The very narrow and steep steps make it very difficult for most older and/or physically challenged guests to access. The description should clearly state this this house is mainly suited for fully physically able guests under the age of 50. Our party consisted of three people in their upper 50;s to late 60's who struggled not to fall on the steps from the parking area above to the house levels below.
The somewhat slippery tubs/showers in the bathrooms also had no slip resistant surfaces or grab bars.
The description said that parking was limited to two vehicles, but did not say that one of those spaces (the garage) could only fit a compact or smaller vehicle. Our mid-sized car was several inches too long to fit into the garage. Fortunately we only brought one car that barely fit in the outside space.
The interior of the house was clean, but the outsides of the windows had spider webs that were not removed, and swarming ants just outside the front door upon our arrival.
The kitchen area was clean, but spelled badly of rotting fish in and around the sink area. We only were able to eliminate the oder by carefully cleaning and disinfecting the garbage disposal. Days later we noticed that the outside bear proof garbage box also was packed with mountains of rotting fish smelling materials which convinced us that the previous guests must have been cleaning fish in the kitchen, and tossing the detritus in the outside box.
Aa a result we hardly attempted to use much, if any, of the kitchen area.
The beds were comfortable, but the living room furniture and outside seating were rather old and dated, The house seemed to still have many furnishings from the 1950's or earlier.
We only tried to use the hot tub once, as it was set at a scorching temperature of 109 degrees, and we could find no way of reducing the heat. No instructions seemed to be provided., other than to add a spoon of powder after each use.
The Park Lane road leading up to the house is quite steep and narrow, and offers just one way in and out, in case of any emergencies. The turn onto it from Highway 28 below is poorly marked, and a bit scary.
