The property has a lot of potential, but several issues affected our stay.When we arrived at 6:00 PM, the house was not ready—the cleaning service was still finishing laundry. We also found only five coffee mugs even though the home is set up for eight guests and our group had six people. There was garbage left in the upstairs bins, dishes still in the dishwasher, and mold on the outside of the coffee creamer packages left in a bowl on the counter. In the primary bedroom on the left, the window on the right side would not open.The main floor has air conditioning, but the upstairs bedrooms only have fans, which made them quite warm for sleeping. This was disclosed in the listing, but guests who are sensitive to heat should keep it in mind.A safety concern is the very dark paint on the stairs to the second floor. They are difficult to see, better contrast or lighting would make them safer.Motorcyclists should also be aware that this barn is not especially bike-friendly. There are two steep, loose-gravel driveways, with the second driveway to the upper area particularly steep. I would recommend it only for very experienced motorcycle riders.With improved cleaning, better stocking of basic items, and attention to the safety concerns, this could be a much more comfortable stay.George

We came up for July 4th with our family and this was the perfect place to stay. It’s a unique getaway with all of the amenities of a modern home—a great memory for the family. Everything was clean, worked well, felt sturdy, and made us feel right at home. Great hosts, tons of Fourth of July activities in the area, plenty to do while relaxing at the house (games, TV, hot tub, charcoal grill and full kitchen to prep a meal together as a family). We had a blast and definitely recommend
