Nice clean house, house condition is as pictured. The bunk bed was so squeaky that it caused us issues with our planned sleeping arrangements but believe the owner is now aware and will take care of it for future guests. Basement was chilly so I’d plan accordingly if using the basement bedroom. Owners were very responsive and came over to assist with our issues and brought an additional heater which is always greatly appreciated.
