We stayed here with one other family during the spring time for a youth sporting event. It’s a great floor plan and layout for multiple families, although sounds do easily travel so be prepared to be on similar schedules for evenings and mornings. Our two well behaved dogs joined us too and the house and yard worked great for them too. The house is in a wooded area just outside of town, so it’s an easy drive to fields, shops, restaurants. The house orientation lets in a lot of natural light, it’s really lovely! Be prepared for very early bright light coming into the windows in the morning with the east facing bedrooms (2 out of the 3). Also, the traintracks are VERY close and at least a dozen trains pass by each day and night, so be prepared for that noise. It’s really a simply but very practical home. The upstairs game area is great for kids and teens. The hot tub is nice, but somewhat tricky to get in and out of. The exterior entry stairs and deck could use some updates as they are a bit steep and dilapidated, but they are still functional. Lastly, there’s a lovely stray cat that likes to come and say “hi”. We’re animal lovers, so we enjoyed her visits! We would stay here again.

I think the host was very welcoming. She was very responsive. The location is perfect to get to Schweitzer.

Lots of beds, room for lots of people, looks better than it is! We stayed for 11 days while looking atbuying a place. The house was so dirty! Dishwasher was FILLED with mold & filter so clogged it leaked all over the floor. Had to scrub all of it with bleach. Vacumns reeked, filters were black. Many fans there (which were needed as it gets very warm (no shades on the huge front windows) but were filthy & blowing it at us. Food basics in the cupboards plentiful as long as you are ok with using stuff that expired in 2023. Started off walking barefoot until day 2 when I saw the bottom of my feet which were black. Slippers from then. Dryer was caked w/dirt which explains why the linens all smelled sour, had to wash a lot of it. Mostly feather pillows which we are highly allergic to. Beds were beyond horrendous, lilke sponge. My back & my son's were crippled post 1st night subsequently having to cancel many plans because we could barely walk. Thank GOD for the jacuzzi. The 2 times I contacted owner Day 1/2 about no mop & no dishwasher tabs she was responsive saying "cleaning lady" would bring them by. She left them at the bottom of the long steep driveway by the road twice. She couldnt bother to drive up & put them at the front door? The steep stairs inside are dangerous w/no railing at all. I couldnt stay up there for fear of falling.The ones outside top 2 stairs are metal grates ? my dog cut his paws twice. So disappointing, didnt contact owner anymore because we were so pissed
