Location, quietness of the area

Lock box difficult to open

we loved the location! so peaceful and beautiful! it was the best of both worlds! city life was near, yet the solitude of the outdoors was amazing!

essentially no complaints, except that the trash cans in driveway were all full when we arrived and something smelled in them, but we were able to fit our trash in them.

The check in process was far easier than a hotel. Instructions were sent ahead of check-in and they were detailed. The house was clean and appeared exactly like it was advertised and the price was reasonable. The area was quiet and close to a major area, but not too close.

Personally, I could have done with much less communication. During the time of this booking alone, I received 11 emails and 6 texts. I feel like this is far too much for a one night stay. Some of the communication was too late to be helpful. For example, I received 2 emails and a text after 1pm with reminders about garbage when check out was 11am. We didn't end up staying in the house; it didn't have anything to do with the issue mentioned below. We were in town for a concert and drove about 90 miles. We booked the house as a place to stay in case we didn't feel like we could drive back home. I notified the host at 10:30am the morning of check out and then got a text at 12:30pm asking if we wanted to extend our stay. I think this may have been an automatic message that is sent when the night following a stay is open. But 12:30pm was too late when check out was firm at 11am (you are notified in advance that check in time is firm at 3pm and check out at 11am). We had one small issue. When we arrived, there was no toilet paper in one of the bathrooms, and only one roll in the other bathroom. He texted me to check on our arrival (not part of the 6 texts I already mentioned) and I told him about the paper issue. He replied back that if we needed more than what was provided, we would have to provide our own. He also sent photos (I assume from the cleaning crew) showing that there was toilet paper in both bathrooms, with extra rolls. The photos weren't of the house we we staying in so I sent him photos of the actual bathrooms. No reply from the host after that.
