This could have earned 5 stars but fell a little short
Were it not for a couple things I would rate this vacation home 5 stars. First let me say the house is immaculately clean and well equipped and decorated. I certainly appreciated the owner’s super quick response in accepting my request. Thank you VRBO! The photos accurately portray the house, furnishings and grounds. No surprises there.
Be sure to plan on 20 to 30 minute one-way trips (40-50 minutes round trip) for anything: gas, food supplies, dining, etc… There are no quick trips to anything. All that is okay. Just plan accordingly.
I would have awarded 5 stars were it not for the following:
The house is a bit dark inside. There are ceiling fans in all the bedrooms, living area, sun room and two fans on the screened porch where ceiling lights would have been installed but none are equipped with light globes. The kitchen is well lit. It appears the owners may have added all those fans replacing ceiling lighting because the interior switches by the door exits to the porch, and now enclosed side porch/sun room, living area and bedrooms only turn the fans on and off instead of what you would expect to turn on lights. After dark, your only option when going out onto the screen porch is to manually turn on one of two pole-type reading lights out there. Look at the photos carefully! The dining table is on the screen porch and not in the house. It has only a reading lamp to illuminate it. All of this may never have been obvious to a warm summer dweller. But now that autumn has arrived it was too cool for five adults to eat meals outside in the darkened area after sundown. Inside, lighting came from scattered low wattage lamps here and there also.
There is a small bar separating the kitchen and living area with no seating; definitely not large enough for five standing adults to eat a meal. I hope the owner will take a cue and reconvert the “business” area back to a breakfast nook with table and chairs and install some light fixtures on the fans. You will be required to dump your own garbage at a public dump site in Micaville 20+ minutes north of the house. I and all my family were departing southward and did not want to add another 40+ minutes to our rides back home to empty the trash. I put all the trash in my car and brought it home with me. If all this gets addressed in the future, the place would be 5+ stars. As it is, I can only give 3+ stars to an otherwise great, clean, well equipped home
