The house is in a nice, wooded neighborhood with deer and other wildlife we even saw a big black bear. The small beach and the lake are very close. We took a walk every day around the neighborhood. And we found plenty of family-friendly activities nearby. The kitchen was stocked, and the furniture was in good shape. However, we did experience several problems the most traumatic was mice. Late Sunday night we saw one running across the kitchen floor. The host assured us it was an isolated situation, just a field mouse. But the next morning we purchased two traps. So, glad we did because we trapped 3 mice in the same area and had to send several emails and pictures before the host took the situation seriously enough to call in a professional pest service. Their slow reaction was very unacceptable and upsetting. The other major problem was a piece of trim with exposed nails. It was around the door of one of the kid's rooms. Again, the host was informed on Sunday, but the handyman did not come until Wednesday. Again, this was a very unacceptable slow reaction to a safety issue. Some of the other concerns... a reaped shower curtain liner; dirty coffee maker; broken freezer door handle; and the floor of the outside trash bin was so full of loose trash that we could not set the trash cans upright. The host had a real opportunity to wow us...but unfortunately, they missed the mark! Due to their slow response time and lack of attention to details.
