Great property location and interesting house layout with 4 bedrooms, 2 very spacious, 2 smaller. Very steep property. Lots of steep stairs in the house, front yard/driveway, and backyard.
The backyard had 8+ well used outdoor chairs and a propane gas fire pit. The upstairs deck (at kitchen/ground level) was convenient as no up and down the stairs to the lower level back yard was needed. This deck was covered in owl poop and 1+ owls have nested above the deck and were actively creating a mess on the deck while we were there. we tried to wash the poop off the deck but no luck. There is no privacy in the backyard or on the deck as there are neighbors in every direction right on top of you with dogs, collapsing fences, tarps, debris, etc in their yards.
The kitchen is centrally located, but needs work. There is the bare minimum of dishes/bowls/utensils, no tupperware, no saran wrap/foil, no spices/oil, no garbage bags, no dishwasher detergent, no paper towels, etc. *Bring every little thing you will need for yourself.* The appliances were also an issue. The oven barely works and is very slow to heat. The microwave is about to die and makes a very loud unusual sound when running. The fridge/freezer ice machine was not working and the water sprayed out onto the floor at a sharp angle. Only two of the four burners on the stove top seemed to work. Dishwasher door hinge allows the door to fall to the ground.
The master bedroom was very spacious and had everything you would need with a nice bathroom en suite. the downstairs room was as well. The two middle level rooms were smaller but had the basics and comfortable bedding.
The overall cleanliness of the house was uncomfortably unclean. The house was dusty, floors dirty, old stained carpets, crumbs/hair on/in/under couches, old flat pillows, hair and dirt in bathrooms, etc. In general the house needs a through deep clean and some upgrades to make the house more comfortable, especially during COVID.
The fees for this house were high given the cleanlilness of the house in particular. There was a $50/dog fee. The check in/out times were not great 5 pm and 10 am. They charge you $50 for an extra 2 hour delay in check out time which seemed excessive given how unaccommodating the check in/out times were.
Overall the property meets the minimum needs of a weekend stay in the pines. We enjoyed our trip, and very few of the issues listed above had a large impact to the weekend, but rather were inconveniences.
