We loved that 11 of us fit with room to move around. Between the hot tub, retro arcade games, fire pit, a table long enough for epic card games and the nearby beach, we had a wonderful time. The house was clean, spacious and neighbours were friendly when we went on walks! The shops downtown are lovely. The yard has enough space to throw a football. Communication with Cindy was very easy and she was extremely responsive. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the time away.
A few things as some feedback:
1) There is no "house rules" posted in the house or online. We've done a lot of these types of rentals, each one having different rules for the amentities (i.e garbage/recycling, compost, things to do in the area, fire pit regulations, locking door using keypad, bbq use etc.). Just handy to have for quick self help answers and ensuring things are done properly.
2) Hunstville does not allow day burning from 8am-6pm. This detail certainly should be posted somewhere and an accessible hose or big enough bucket should be provided. We bought our own bucket after having a fire truck show up. Thankfully we only had two small logs burning! The ad only lists to bring your own wood so we thought burning anytime was ok - we also all come from places that do not have hourly regulations.
3) There are some animal traps around the outside of the house(no big deal) and the large garbage bin is about 30 ft or less from the firepit/hot tub area - we had this awful "something definitely died" smell for the 3 days we were there. It kept wafting towards the hang out area, which was a bit unfortunate. The bin was almost full so it could be too close in proximity or the traps may need to be checked.
All in all, this is a great place and we would recommend it. Thank you for having us!
