We arrived 30 minutes prior to check in and the door code VRBO gave us did NOT WORK. The property manager had emailed a new door code the night prior but I didn’t check for an email, because I thought I had what I needed. So we had to sit and wait for someone to come let us in. Part of the family that owns the property lives next door, they kindly came over and unlocked the door for us. There is a wonderful senior OLD dog that belongs to the family and he came over to see us a time or two, we really enjoyed those little visits since we missed our pets. The blinds in one of the downstairs bedrooms doors were problematic as we could not open or raise and lower them, and when we left to go to a gathering of family at the lake for the day, we came back to find the blinds had been raised and it appeared someone had been in the house in our absence. The house itself is lovely and large, would accommodate a large gathering and there were dishes and pots and pans so cooking was not a problem. But there is no TV in the large family room so if you want to watch a movie together, you’d have to do so in one of the bedrooms. There are board games which we enjoyed and a microwave, dishwasher, stove etc. So all the amenities you need for a weeklong retreat. The Patio was a wonderful place to sit and early in the morning several humming birds came looking for food. I wished there had been a feeder up as they might have stayed and visited longer. We only had the holiday weekend and I was sorry WE did not get to stay longer!
