Not as good as the photos and not at all guest friendly but the view is nice
This is a summer place only. There is no dining table inside even though there is a lot of room for a table and chairs in the living room (host-- go on Craigslist and buy a folding dining table and chairs so in the winter or on rainy days your guests can have a place to eat). The lamps are a mish mash of tag sale items. In the little separate building that has the master bedroom, the bedside lamps are tiny dark red shaded things that give off no light other than a weird red glow. The bed in the smaller bedroom looks like it is 60 years old (authentic mid century furntiure is great but not when it comes to beds). There are no instructions anywhere for anything. The heat was off and it was freezing when we got in and there are no instructions on how to use a remote control for the heat (which is not intuitive at all). We had to text the host at 9:30 pm for instruction. Logs were left for the fireplace but there was nothing there to start a fire with and there were no instructions for how to use the gas in the fireplace to try to light the logs; again, we had to text the host at night for some instruction. Why not put some instructions in the guest book? This is not a place for guests; we felt that we were intruding in someone's long deserted home and did not feel welcome at all. The two buildings are not worth the price tag (and when we were informed that we had to pay a huge deposit to rent the place, we expected fine antiques or nice artwork but there are no decorations at all!) The view is lovely but the house definitely is not.
