Summary: Super cute place in the country! Nice and clean with all the necessities. There are however no doors on the bedrooms. The 2nd bedroom upstairs requires you to walk through the first bedroom to get to. It worked okay for us but if staying with others, would not be ideal. Furnace is dated and noisy. There appeared to be a heating unit of some kind in the kitchen that we didn’t try which may help heat the home? If going in the winter, I would inquire about heating as we would not have been able to sleep in the main floor bedroom with the current furnace. We had mice that accessed the garage to the first floor bedroom wall. No mice were able to access the interior but we heard them in the night. The game room area in the garage was nice to have for teens and the country setting was great too. There is another house in close proximity to the red house which is not shown in the listing. Overall, a nice clean place to stay.
