Great family location close to everything

The host had quick responses to questions and very friendly. The house was in a great location for hikes and floating the Buffalo River. The cleanliness upon our arrival did not meet basic expectations, under the furniture (dusty and half a cookie) and a lot of dead bugs on the floor.

We enjoyed our stay, the Internet worked great -the kitchen was lacking in cooking pans, but Marilyn got us more immediately. She was very responsive to her needs.

Overall, the place had plenty of room for us, was in an ideal location, has beautiful views, and is a great price. It's old and charming. However, the house needs a really good deep clean and sprayed for insects/spiders. We understand that this is in the woods and on a mountain. We are from the country, so trust us, we understand bugs are gonna happen, dust is gonna happen. However, I don't think killing 5 spiders inside per day should be considered normal simply because the location is in the woods. A simple routine insecticide spraying would do wonders. Additionally, the place was only surface level clean. Lots of webs in corners, and the under cabinets, beds, and couch was disgusting, which you can easily see from anywhere you sit in the house. A really good deep clean is desperately needed. The curtains also really need to be bigger. They are not wide enough to cover the entirety of any window, so the evening times felt a little vulnerable because we were unable to completely cover the windows. The positive of the house is the kitchen is very well stocked with all the things most people could possibly need and there were plenty of towels and blankets, which we really appreciated. The kitchen could probably use some plastic baggies and tinfoil or plastic wrap. Overall, it's a cute place and it suited our needs, but would likely stay at a different place for our next visit.
