The positives: The house delivered what it promised. We were very happy that the fireplace was in working order and that there were plenty of utensils, pots and pans in the kitchen. There were plenty of shovels and toys for the snow, and lots of kids books, toys and games. Also the working bbq was nice and the view from the living room was spectacular! The house was also reasonably clean. The negatives: These were not deal breakers, but things that could have made it a better stay over all. The beautiful, east facing, picture window (unfortunately) also provided an insane amount of glare with the sun pouring in the first half of the day. While warming the place up (a bonus) it also made it difficult to cook breakfast in the kitchen and we had to move the eating table into a shady corner of the living room to have breakfast without sun directly in half our guests eyes. A retractable curtain would be helpful for that purpose. Also, I understand that the tall ceilings are hard to get to to clean, but half the living room ceiling was a maze of spider webs, winding all the way down to the dining table chandelier. The ceiling fan was non-op (which we didn't need), but had it worked it may have prevented spiders from making their homes in that section. We also saw a few gigantic ants, but they were easily dispatched. I'm guessing they are probably more numerous in the summertime. Overall, we really enjoyed this home and would recommend it to others.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Interaction is very good and home is decent. But the home is not clean and we could not the barbecue area as it was cleaned for long time. There are lot of cob webs, kitchen utensils are very less and no big utensils to cook for 8 people and the lighting in the home is too low. Also the garage is not maintained properly as we cannot keep the cars inside the garage.
