Overnight lodging

A beautiful setting in a mountainous area. For our group of 5, the house met the overnight accommodations we needed while attending a Christian retreat in the neighborhood.

Very cute home. I have to admit my family was surprised to find no TV. Of course it didn’t list there was on, but unusual not to have one. I wish that was called out.

Unhealthy place to stay

This house would not pass a Board of Health inspection. I regret that I didn’t take a picture of the fan blades on the DC Inverter before I cleaned the mold off them. I doubt the inside of the inverter is mold free. I could only get to the blades that open and close based on operation. It’s my opinion that the moldy/musty smell is coming from the basement, in fact at one point it even smelled like sewage. Noticed this one night after having used the washer/dryer. Especially when you lay down at night in the main bedroom, as the head of the bed next to the wall is closest to the basement. The smell just comes up through the old wood floors. I slept with a mask on. I didn’t know what I was breathing in.
