The pictures posted are definitely from this house, however, they are from many years when the host was on the market to be sold. There is twice as much furniture/stuff in the house than the pictures show. The caretaker was very responsive and the location is good. In order for listing to accurately represent the property, new photos should be posted.

The house is on a quiet street with a lovely backyard. The children were enchanted by bunnies on the lawn and baby robins in a nest. The house has old-fashioned country charm with comfortable beds and lots of big TV screens. The area has lots of bicycling trails which we love.

It was ok. It sleeps 14 if you use all the sofa, futon and trundles but it did not have enough space for everyone to gather in one room. The dining room is dark and way too much furniture that is not useable. Some of the bedroom storage was already filled with items(maybe if the homeowner). Some of the closets with extra bedding had a mildew smell so didn’t use it. Overall it worked but my advice to the owner would be to make the furniture more purposeful and not just to fill the space with useless things. The owner was slow to respond and when I requested to change my dates i felt ignored and ended up paying for nights I didn’t need. Communication with the owner was terrible. The yard is nice with tables and umbrellas with a bbq. Kitchen was clean and had spices and some staples. Great location for just about everything.

I wish I could post pictures. This property is not cleaned or maintained. Antiques replaced with garage-sale cast offs. Owner contacted immediately but never responded. Booked five night but couldn’t take it after one night. -Boxes of booze bottles and other trash in driveway - Rotting pumpkin outside entry door - Food-stained kitchen cupboards and oven - Oven door dripping with some milky substance - Mildew smell pervading house - Used shampoo bottles in bathrooms with soap dripping down sides - Used, grimy bath toys on tub rims - Pubic hair on bathroom wall! - Bedroom with mahogany 4-poster bed with sleep number mattress? Nope. Sagging mattress on plain old bed frame. That bedroom had a refrigerator, hot plate and some kind of warming tray. Looks like someone is squatting here. This property should does not represent VRBOs usual quality. We contacted VRBO to report this property.

It was a pleasant vacation meeting family members in a house with a lot of antiques and holiday decorations. The house is really warm, cozy and relaxing. I can tell that the owner has put a lot of efforts in decorating the house, in an old fashion that young generation would never appreciate. My family loved it and felt like home. We texted Jim before arriving, asking for a Christmas tree. When we got there, the tree was up with lights turned on. On a heavy snow night, we messaged Jan for some plumbing issue, she sent Mr. Appleby to resolve the problem right away. They responded to the request quickly. The house is at a cul de sac in a safe and quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed family walk after every dinner. We are so happy that we made a good choice for this good location, nice neighborhood, reasonable pricing, cozy house for Christmas. Thank you Jan and Jim for the host. Ping ans family
