"High recommend, very nice property. Feedback is that the lock box is in an awkward low position, especially when raining. There were no baking dishes/trays for the oven and only one standard sized and one small frying pan. The only tray available was the large slide tray similar to the racks. It was hard to keep food warm while trying to cook a family of 6 adults and 2 babies,"
