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.

The property is large, and there is a lot of space. However, it is quite rustic, so be prepared for that. Inside and outside of the house, there were a lot of bugs. Also, the house would benefit from cleaning. It does not appear as though it has had any type of thorough cleaning in the recent past. This could be a really great place with better upkeep and general maintenance.

Our experience wasn't as good this year as it was last year. The pond is an eye soar losing water because of a sink hole and ots loaded with seaweed. There wasn't a bbq pit the house wasn't cleaned. The shower know was falling off and wouldn't turn on the hot side. But I fixed that.air condition wasn't working in 2 of the rooms and a few other issues. So wasn't too happy with our stay this year.

The place is very cheap, so for that it gets a couple stars. We weren't expecting luxury, but it is definitely run down. I respect that they had volunteers working on the house, so that's part of it. The lake in front of the house was basically a swamp, so that was not really at all like the pictures. I think it's a worthwhile area to visit and if you don't mind a very old house, old house smell, etc, it's not terrible and its very inexpensive. I would equated it to camping with a roof.
