We stayed here for a family Thanksgiving (all adults). The house was very clean, the furniture was comfortable and we especially enjoyed the den when the afternoon sun was through the windows.The stairs going up to the second level are beautiful. The walk to the restaurants and shops on Main Street was quick and relatively easy. On the other hand there were a few things that could have been better. There were no dish towels or dish drainer in the kitchen when we arrived, which is a problem if you want to do much cooking and need to clean up the dishes. Never could get the smart tv to work - in spite of what the instructions in the binder said, there didn't seem to be a connection to Spectrum. Also, the dryer didn't work - it would shut off about 5 minutes in to all the cycles we tried. Finally, to enter the house you need to go up a somewhat steep set of stairs. If there had been a way to lock the front door behind us we could have used that to go in and out at street level instead. My husbands bad knees would have appreciated that very much. Overall, I would definitely rent the house again, but a few things could be improved on.

House was very clean when we arrived. Furniture was comfortable. Glad we could bring our dogs. NOTE: there is a fenced yard, but it is not secure for SMALL dogs, up to 30 lbs. The first 3 days were very hot on the second floor due to AC being broken. Rooms had individual window AC units to try and compensate, but it was hot. Vacasa sent AC tech to fix problem which was much appreciated. We were not aware there was a problem so we didn't call it in. It would have been helpful for Vacasa to have made us aware that the unit was broken. Otherwise it was a nice house, spacious, clean, comfortable and close to Main St.

Everything was great except describing as 4 bedroom was a little misleading. 4th bedroom upstairs was actually smaller than the master closet. Had to move furniture out of room to open murphy bed.
