Beautiful Yard and deck, great location in a quiet neighborhood
The location, yard, fire pit & back deck area is beautiful! We stayed in October and weather was not very nice, so we did not get to enjoy the outdoor space. It's an older home that is spacious but the rooms are broken up and small. We had plenty of room for our group of 10, but we couldn't be in the same room at the same time. There is a small kitchen table (4) and another larger table (5) in dining room. The living area had seats for 7 and was adequate and there was a formal living room w/ seating, but no television. The house was clean and nice and included a lot of handy amenities such as steamer, iron, laundry room, wash tub, hair dryers, and sample soaps & lotions, all of which came in very handy! The biggest problem we had was the basement bedroom. In MI, it would not be a legal bedroom. We had planned to have our daughter, husband and baby sleep there so they could have their own bathroom and space. But, the bedroom is a ways from the stairs and has just one small window at the ceiling. We were not comfortable w/ them staying in a basement w/ no fire escape. They would've had to break the window and use a ladder to try and climb through. We did end up using the room for a smaller adult that was comfortable with it, but it would have been nice to know that ahead of time. The other issue we had was that since the owners live in this house unless it's rented, they have a lot of cupboards and closets that are locked with their own things in it. That wouldn't be a problem except that we didn't have a single closet upstairs with the 4 bedrooms, where we could hang clothes. The only closets that weren't locked were on the main floor entry way and 1 in the basement. It was very inconvenient. We were there for a wedding so everyone had suits, dresses, etc for the wedding and rehearsal. There was a lot of running up and down stairs to get our clothes. Also, they only had 12 hangers for the entire house but Lizie was very prompt in buying & bringing us more. The kitchen could use some nicer pans & bake ware, although most people probably don't cook as much as we do on vacation. All in all, we had a great time and Lizie was prompt in answering questions & great to work with. Thank you for letting stay in your home!
