Summary: The house was great, beautiful property and views/wildlife amazing. Kitchen was well stocked and linens plentiful. We saw a deer and many birds. Some things could be improved though. The mattresses upstairs could use updating. The king bed upstairs is very soft, in one of the twin bedrooms the beds are rock solid, and the other twin bedroom the mattresses are squishy (may not even be real mattresses). The upstairs bathroom has a tiny tall tub. The exterior light was not working/connected. The downstairs bathroom could use curtains so that if people are using the bathroom the people in the driveway cannot see you. We had a great stay. Switches and outlets are quirky. These things did not ruin our stay but some improvements could help others.
