Our experience was not as good as earlier guests who seemed to genuinely enjoy the property, according to the beaming entries we read in the property guest book. The home's history is interesting, and it's obvious the owners have a lot of love for this family property. A few issues prevented us from feeling welcomed or "at home." The first was a lack of communication: check-in was difficult; a wifi code was not supplied; extra payment for a last-minute guest was overly complicated. The other issues were: an overpowering smell of moth balls, (which completely ruined first impressions and affected our entire stay); a loud squeaking door to the only bathroom; opened/used bath amenities including bar soap with dried hair on it; and a non-working TV. All of these items are easy fixes which may be remedied with little effort. We actually visited briefly with the owners during our stay, and when we mentioned to them about the overwhelming moth ball odor, they seemed flabbergasted. The use of a professional extermination service rather than the use of moth balls; better communications; a liberal dose of WD-40 on the bathroom door hinges; and a basket of unopened dollar store bath supplies will go a long way to make future guests feel more at home. The master bedroom's non-working TV could simply be removed, and if Internet continues to be listed as an amenity, posting the network and wifi code would be helpful to guests. On to the positives: we loved the history of the house, its unique rock fireplace, the home's spaciousness, and the overly abundant supply of bath linens - much appreciated. Aside from the opened/partially used bath amenities, the home was very clean.
