There was 11 of us in this beautiful home for 7 days. Information was gathered from them to compile this review.
Pros: Photos on listing are accurate. The home very spacious with many opportunities for privacy. Beds were very comfortable. Decor and furnishings were nice. Great kitchen appliances with tons of refrigerator/freezer space. The outdoor area was very nice. We enjoyed watching folks fishing in the pond. Location was slightly hidden at first, but very easily accessible and not far from lots of stuff to do. I personally stayed in the master bedroom and it was phenomenal. The game room was great - we loved the pinball machine. The massive dining room table was perfect for our big family.
Cons: No book with information about the home, instructions, recommendations, etc. Although, this was a relief to an extent, it does make for a nice welcome and clear expectations. The welcome bag had 2 waters and snacks for only 2 people. There was a lack of towels and washcloths, so we had to do laundry several times that week. We had a severe lack of dish towels and there were no pot holders - that was remedied mid week. There was only one sorta usable skillet, very minimal dish detergent, dish washer detergent. Basic cleaning supplies would have been nice. At the price we paid - which was A LOT, we feel like these are things that should have been provided. The ceiling in the first bedroom to the left had some damage to it, and was an eye sore (this is in the wood paneled room). The two bedrooms off the kitchen had very smelly water, but good water pressure. The other rooms water was OK, but water pressure was lacking. The tub off the game room would not hold water for a bath and was challenging to shut off. The home was mostly clean, however, all window sills in the long hall had debris. There was a lamp in the pool table room that was covered with webs to the walls and lots of spiders on it. This made a few of us pretty squeamish - nobody wanted to sit near it. There was lots of goose poop walking to and from the gazebo and in the gazebo. This cannot be prevented, but a nozzle on the water hose would have been helpful so we could have cleaned it off.
With all of this being said, we did thoroughly enjoy our stay at the House of the Rising Sun. Would recommend better attention to detail for future guests - this will make all the difference in the world. It would have made a difference to us.
