Property needs some work

Overall ok. Just a place to sleep … the smell upon opening the door was overwhelming (moth balls and chemical air deodorizers)…. The house is cute for what it is, and they’ve done a good job of putting a face lift on it. The outdoor fire pit was very nice. That said, it all just left something to be desired.,, would not stay here again.
