This rental is all about location and comfort.Location: While just a short drive to the downtown, the house is on a country road and perches on a hill. The view from the large, covered deck and screened porch includes a few houses dotting the hills, a valley with 2 small farms, and the distant mountains. I used the deck way more than the screened porch because stink bugs had entered through the floorboard spaces and were gathering on the screens. Don’t know what this means for mosquitoes during the humid periods.Comfort: this suburban-style home which by the kitchen and baths appears to be from the 1990s has amenities that a historic home might not. Both a half-bath and large master bath on the main level was a real plus. The master bedroom had a walk-in closet and all the other rooms on that level were large. A study plus a living room allowed my husband and me to do our own thing. The abundance of linens, throws and tissue boxes was a nice touch.Suggested Improvements: The long, winding and inclined gravel driveway made for a bumpy ride in our mid-size sedan. If the ruts that erosion caused near the driveway’s entrance were filled in I might not have heard my husband cry out at every traversing, “next time a hotel.”We needed working motion-sensitive lights above the garage and front entry. The provided flashlights had no batteries.In the kitchen, I could have used the normally provided bottle of oil, coffee creamer and Keurig. No one-ply harsh TP, please!
