This home was frankly one of best experiences we have had at a rent by owner. The description was totally accurate but, as they say, it's the little things. As the notes in the bathrooms say (something to the effect of" "If you forgot it, look and you will find." and the notes were totally accurate from the acetmetaphin, to makeup remover, to dog leashes and bowls, to assortment of tea, coffee, and hot chocolate, three kinds of coffee makers..... we didn't have to look hard to have all the comforts of home and weekend getaway and then some. And then there is the beautiful Laurel Highlands. And the fire area. And the beautiful well equipped kitchen. I am hopeful the out building is being made into an extra room or standalone rental? We were a little tight with three adults and two children and two dogs but the rain did prevent being outside. Super sweet campfire area and the swing in the woods. Very private tho quite a few gorgeous homes in the neighborhood. Since it was a very rainy weekend, we probably didn't get to explore the hiking/biking paths as much as we wanted but still saw some great sights.
