Good-Nice location, set back off the road. Close to trails for hiking and a few good eating options. Enclosed b-yard was great for our pooches. Needs attention-carpet is in rough shape. Tile or laminate with an easily replaceable area rug, would spiff it up. Had to displace a few spiders to access the washer. Overall, a good option!

The property was very nice. We are moving from AZ to SC so it was a nice rest spot. The AC in one room was good, there was no AC in the 2nd, and the living room AC said it was 69 but my son was complaining how hot he was. We figured it out though so no big deal. We loved the yard. Kitchen was awesome. Thank you for the coffee and tide pods to wash clothes. FYI living room light was not working per my son (mom and I hung out in the kitchen mainly)
