We found the interior of the home clean and the gathering locations wonderful for our group of 13 to be altogether. The kitchen served us very well. The exterior had great gathering places also, but the exterior (yard, decks, grill, garage) showed no signs of being cleaned up this season. (We did some minimal cleaning.) The kayaks, paddleboard, swimming, dock for kids to fish from all provided some great activities. People should be aware that to get from the entrance level to the kitchen level required 31 stairsteps, so challenging for some to bring in coolers and food boxes.
