Really like the neighborhood

We left this home shortly after arriving due to issues that were unacceptable. The photos are accurate, however, upon arriving (on a cold and rainy afternoon), it was very cold in the house. We turned up thermostat in living area, which set to 63. After going upstairs to find second thermostat, we found it was not working. I texted owner ASAP. He texted back that he "needed to get that one fixed". He said the heat would rise to the top floor, or I could move the working thermostat to the upper floor. I was very unhappy to learn he already knew the thermostat was broken and he hadn't had it fixed. Second issue was that the lock and chain on the very old and worn back door were not sufficient to keep someone from gaining access to the home. Given the heat issue and the lack of security, we decided we could not stay. Before we left we also found the toilet in the only bathroom would not flush. I contacted the owner and told him the home did not meet expectations and given the issues we would not be staying there. We then contacted VRBO, since we felt the home was misrepresented. VRBO relayed they would initiate a refund request to owner, on our behalf, which they did. The owner told me he would not refund the rental fee stating that since we cancelled same day there was no time to rent it to someone else. In any rental, let alone one at this price point, I would expect heat, secure premises, and a working toilet. I would not rent this home again.

We very much enjoyed our time at this property. It was exactly what we expected. Very clean, tastefully decorated and convenient to downtown Dover and the surrounding area. We appreciated how easy Chris was to communicate with and how clear the expectations were . If and when we are ever back in the area we will definitely consider booking this property again.

Loved the neighborhood and proximity to the local restaurants and shops

Stayed here for a week while doing a lot of business for the house w are building in Kittery. Since it’s a duplex it wasn’t that great for our dogs. They tend to bark easily when they hear noises. We ended up taking them home to the house sitter. The kitchen is run down and there is only one bathroom that is upstairs. Living room and sitting rooms nice. Not sure though that six people would be comfortable in this space, especially w only one bathroom. We did enjoy our stay at the Farmhouse.

We loved this VRBO house! It was immaculately clean and very prettily decorated-we loved the vintage look of this house. The kitchen is well stocked and each bedroom has a good sized closet. It is situated in a great neighborhood with lots of beautiful Victorian houses and good sidewalks, so our daily walks were so interesting (and did I mention that it is only a couple of blocks from Dover's walking trail?). We have family in Dover so we definitely plan on returning!
