Overall we really enjoyed our stay in this home. There was more space than we knew what to do with for our party of 5! There were even two extra rollout beds in an upstairs closet! :)
The craftsmanship of the home was exquisite and welcoming!
A couple things that could use improvement would be the cleaning, oven and dryer.
For a $200+ cleaning fee, we could see white pet hair from a previous stay on some of the furniture and the floor. We vacuumed the downstairs and swiffered the upstairs, out of worry that we might acquire an excessive pet hair fee as outlined in the agreement due to these remnant hairs. The spice cupboard had syrup residue and was sticky along with spice granules, the olive oil bottle was empty & one of the pans had leftover egg.
The oven did not seem to heat to full temp (400 F), after 20 minutes the salmon looked like it was still raw. I then broiled on high heat and actually forgot about it and it was barely browned after about 10 mins (which should have charred it). A meat thermometer would be super helpful to check doneness but I could not find one.
The dryer took 2 70-minute cycles to begin to dry the towels we were asked to wash and dry before departure. Which also makes me wonder why the cleaning fee is so high. This constrained our checkout process immensely. We had hoped to wash some of our own stuff but could not due to the dryer.
Overall we would still come again and hope this feedback helps make this place even better for next time!:)
