6/10 Okay

Kevin L.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication
The barn was beautiful. No complaints about the cleanliness. Entire property inside and out were as described. We did have a Bat inside the house that came down from the chimney and flew around inside of the house for a while but he finally went out the front door. It was actually pretty entertaining. The only complaint I had was no cookware or very limited. If you stay here make sure to bring cookware. Other than that, it worked great. Oh and no propane. Over all, I’d stay again..
