Summary: Great family vacation in Townsend. We are a group of 17, adults and kids, together for four days. I requested an early checkin so that we could use our car to pick up family from the airport and the host were happy to oblige. The house was as shown online and was perfect for a group our size. Our grand kids loved the downstairs game room and spent each evening playing there. The beds were comfortable but if possible bring your own pillow. It was very nice to have TVs in all the bedrooms, living room and playroom. As many have stated before the kitchen is very small but there are two large tables in the dining area that allowed us all to eat together. Our littles met the goat on the first day and they followed us home. Try to avoid this!! Because the goats wanted attention they stood on the porch and hollered and pooped before they began ramming the front door. I had to contact the host to come and retrieve them! The only complaints about the property is that the faucet in the kitchen would not completely shut off and one of the drawers would not stay closed. Also all of the outdoor porches were very dirty including the fireplaces as well as the cushions on the covered areas. I understand leaves but there were ashes, spills and bead bugs along with the leaves. Maintenance and house keeping could use a little attention. Over all we enjoyed our stay and would rent this property again.
