Excellent property. Carolyn and Chuck were super nice. They gave us a brief tour of the house, which was helpful. We were able to ask how to properly use the wood burner as well as get clarification of whether we could use the wood for the outdoor fire pit.
The house was extremely clean. The fridge was completely empty, to include the ice trays. This is a nice touch. It made it very clear on the expectation for our departure.
There were nice views out of the windows as well as from both porches. Very few cars were traveling on the road. Hours would go by without seeing one. Farmland and woods were everywhere, which is exactly what we wanted.
This rental was definitely a house and not a cabin. To me, "house" implies cleanliness, convenience, modernity, and livability, while "cabin" implies sparseness, with the expectation of the residence being less clean, possibly older and a little run-down, with antiquated facilities, and hidden rodent droppings to occasionally be found. Carolyn and Chuck's serene country vacation rental is definitely a house! Very nice. If only the house were for sale, I'd be all over it.
Thank you!
