Limestone Ridge River Getaway

Limestone Ridge River Getaway

8/10 Good
"House is in a great location and easy to find. Murray Lake and a warm fireplace in winter is fantastic. Views were amazing. Plenty of space for guests. A few notes however, The indoor and outdoor fireplaces needed cleaning before they could be used. Limited in pantry supplies, while this is not the obligation of the owner, when dropping a few '000 on your stay, some staples would be nice. The blinds in the master bedroom didn't open with the pulley, upon seeking help, the agent offered to come out to manually roll them up. Again, not a deal breaker but blinds should work in a house. Roll out sofa bed frame brokenWe were made aware of neighbours friendly dogs but they were too friendly and a little one could go through the gate into the house, disturbing dinner until I carried him over to the neighbouring property. Summary: Our family and friends had a great time. House had charm and most things worked. Clean and tidy upon arrival. With some minor improvements, it would definitely be more value for money."
