Not really a place for young kids. Several inappropriate ‘art’ that wasn’t seen or noticed when reviewing pics prior to booking. The stove/oven quit working Thursday morning. They ordered a hot plate to be delivered Friday afternoon. However, cooking on the 6” burner was challenging. Just frustrating as there was 5 staying at the house plus we invited friends to visit for dinner.
