The house was clean and photos of house are accurate. The house itself looks straight out too owners house, with few trees in between, no privacy at all (thats why we were getting away). They also emailed they woukd pop over to meet us once we were settled in, not what you'd expect. We never stayed long enough to find out as booked a motel instead
