Lots of maintenance issues with this property. Many of the chairs are broken, the toilet seat in one bathroom was repaired at our request but the toilet in one of the upstairs bathrooms is not properly anchored. The heating units downstairs do not adequately heat the living spaces and the downstairs bath has no heat at all. The warmest we were able to get the rooms was 68 on a sunny day but was more commonly 63 at night or when cloudy. In addition to these issues, for an almost 2 week stay we were left one roll of paper towels , 3 trash bags and no cleaning supplies. For 6 people we had 5 forks and 4 coffee mugs.
Overall the property is poorly maintained and dirty. The view was lovely and I think this was a nice place 10 years ago when the pictures were taken.
