The smell was quite unpleasant and overwhelming. The house had a significant mold issue. Unfortunately, there are also many dogs that bark at everything - very close to the house and hard to tune out.

Such a cute house for a family getaway: we come up to this area every summer and would definitely book this house again. It is so peaceful and pretty and watching the deer in the evening was the kids favorite. The house is perfect for a family of 4 or a small group of friends. It’s only 15 minutes from the downtown square and about 35 minutes from some really pretty hiking trails and tubing down the river. Recommend staying here
