The host was great with communication before & during the stay. The house itself was very clean, but is very small. If you have 2-3 people visiting or are not trying to manage naps with others around, it would be a better fit for you. We had five individuals (two adults, two small child, one infant), & it was just too small. We knew the home would be on the smaller side, which we have done before without issue. However, the living space is generally slightly larger and/or the outdoor space is more usable than this home. Looking back at listing photos now, we can see things that would have turned us off beforehand - the basement is not a finished basement and is not suitable for children to play in at all. Again, for older youth or adults, it would be okay, but I personally did not want to hang out down there, which reduced the living area size (we thought it would be a usable downstairs from the description). The outside is nice but is a very steep slope to the lake. With elementary aged children, we were unable to let them run around & play in the yard. Again, looking more closely at listing photos, it is sloped. We just did not realize how much until we arrived. The neighborhood was mostly quiet, though the next door neighbor was closer than we would have liked. We could hear his phone conversations outside, so I'm sure he could hear us as well. It was kind of an eye sore, but we never felt unsafe. Overall, the home was great if you know what to expect & have those needs.
