The location is beautiful. The house needs some major cleaning and updates. There was not near enough information provided about the house upon reservation. I called before reserving and was told it is just like a hotel. It absolutely is not like a hotel. You are to clean up like its your home, which was fine but its nice to know beforehand. I had to call and get details for check in and how to access the house. I received the email giving me these details ELEVEN days AFTER the reservation. Things you need to know: Work at the house is done by volunteers. The website says there is a queen bed, it is actually a king. You're told to bring your own linens but you really are supposed to bring your own linens, towels, trash bags, paper towels, toilet paper, etc. There are dishes and cookware available. Some teas and pantry staples have been left over from others. Website says check out is at 12. Reservation reminders say 11. If you are bringing your family for an extended stay, be aware that most of the closets are a catch all and full of random items.

Unfortunately it's not easy to blend old with comfort, based on the smell and look of the furniture and home surfaces we decided we would rather sleep in our tents. Cool to walk through it is a very cool house but I would not recommend it as a place to stay the night in its current condition. Could be a beautiful place, if it were to be renovated with some whimsical imagination.

Pros: If you are looking for privacy, this place is it. On top of that, there is a closet full of games and puzzles. Plenty of bakeware and dishes. Nice furniture. Cell service with Verizon. Big roomy covered porch. Cons: There is only one dining table that only sits 6 people. There are only 9 beds (plus a mattress that is in a junk room) two are king, 5 twin and 2 queen. This includes one bunk bed with no safety railing. There is only one blanket and it’s on one of the king beds. There is only one sofa instead of the two shown in photos. There are two round tables that have been tossed into the garage and appear to be in bad shape. The cleaning lady tried to boot us out at 11 instead of the listed check out time of noon and she was extremely rude to my family and called my daughter names. She left me a nasty voicemail because we were still there before checkout.
