Everything was first class. The house itself feels brand-spanking new, even though we realize it has been there for more than a year. It is beautifully decorated and tastefully appointed throughout. All the appliances are the most modern version -- creating a challenge for us, since we had to learn how to operate some of them (we did!). The furniture is quite comfortable. Although we spent most of our 4 days out of the house, visiting nearby attractions and relatives from Mars Hill, it was great to come home to this beautiful house. We wish we could have brought our little beagle, who would also have loved it; but she hates to ride, so we left her at home. Our only problem was the dual heating system; we were unable to get the upstairs thermostat to respond, even though we tried to follow the directions. We solved that problem (it was too hot, even on those January nights) finally by turning on the ceiling fan, opening a window, and turning the downstairs thermostat down. Other than that, the house was perfect, and we would love to stay there again.
