pleasant stay in the doon
We had an unusually long stay of nearly 2 months while our house was under repair. There were other tenants on the property and occasionally the owner would stop by her studio, so its not completely private, but most of the time it feels like it is. We had our dog who was crate trained and that was pretty workable except when the tenants had their dogs out- our dog wanted to play! Focusing on the positives, overall the house is well kept and the gardens are lovely, and there is a fenced area reserved for the house. For us the location was great.

The house was just right for a group of 10 family members. Clean, open, quiet and fresh.
Worked well for a family of 10. Loved the open kitchen, dining and family room area. The bedrooms were spread out so everyone had their own space. Added 2 blow up mattresses for boys. Back deck was used several times as was the BBQ. Quiet safe neighborhood. Had to drive to most things to do--town, forests, hikes, ocean, etc. Food was "down the mountain." Would highly recommend this home.

Beautiful Home but no privacy
The house was fantastic but had a few issues. 1st issue is that when booked it said that it was 5 acres, it wasn’t until later that I found out that it had a VERY close rental on the same property. When we arrived it also had a room that was connected to the house also rented. The owner NEVER told us about that. The upstairs bedroom had a litter box full of clean litter under the bed. We had someone who has anaphylactic Allergies to cats. So that wasn’t good. The outside garbage on deck was full. Freezer had owners food with a note not to touch (we didn’t mind). Also, cameras all over the front and back deck. Talk about a complete violation of privacy. Those cameras have sound and were never notified. I believe that is illegal. The house was almost 80°, and you have to contact the owner to have them turn it on. They keep complete control over it remotely which you do not find out until after you check in. I do VRBO rentals regularly and this was definitely a 1st.
