old country road

the home was great on photos... but the rooms were very small...very little space to store suitcase or any stuff cute small and very new looking but no room to have by your self... the road noise was awful...i might have been in the freeway..The porch did not have a table to sit at or eat at outside!.., so the weather was great...but you could not Bar b q and eat outside...the fake propane out door heater did not work...need instructions please...and how to light the propane gas !!!...the Coleman propane burner needs use instructions...it was a trial and error to get lit and cooking! there should be at least 2 spare cartridges for use...the main propane outdoor burner had very little propane...so i could not use it..Supply a lounge with a pad it would have made a world of difference...the spare pillows did not have a pillow case so we could not use them...the pull out couch on the second floor had no sheets ...so ,we could not use it...unfortunately we do not purchase the cheapest toilet paper, paper towels and always need napkins...supply a lisdt of shopping requirements...the dishes and silverware, and cooking pots and pans are fine...but the Teflon frying pans will not last for a season...already chewed up...Wine glasses are always r good to have, but none at this property..Its amazing what having a little nicer stuff will do to make people want to return...I checked around and this was an vaerage price point with fewer amenities than other ...overall it was clean
