Better then described except the kayaks themselves cool but the entryway was possibly flooded. Plan on rattling and loading them if that’s a highlight for you but for us that was nothing at this time important as we were just looking for emergency housing. Extremely clean, has everything you need, maybe except for a mattress pad, but Dave is a very young guy and they all do that. The rest of it is pristine.

The host is the man, in general, & my family of 4 have been fortunate enough to stay here and another property of his in Downingtown. The house is an even bigger highlight than the kayaks. If you’re renting a car & the kayaking is a major highlight SUV with bike rack on top & go to a public spot where many people go depending on the condition the weather had left the area entering the water at the property because we have awesome options in the area. Laundry, 1.5 bath, finished attics with large, PBKids style bunk bed. Sheets are polyester with no mattress cover. It David seems like a young man & every young man I know does the same & I’m surprised I forgot to let him know about that- he’s super receptive! Just order a 15 dollar set that 100% cotton off DoorDash, if you don’t have the Target app then it’s a shipped account as both deliver to both properties (& don’t get lost like some secluded VRBOs in the area. NO MOLD!!!! Very shocking/pleasant surprise on a body of water: would have booked sooner if I had seen it before. Lots of photo oops in the home!! Everything re-done on a historic structure. We hope to be back soon Dave- great business model!
