Our family was 3 adult couples and 2 dogs enjoying a long weekend together.
Starting with the Pros: For us, the house was a great layout with 2 master/king suites and a 3rd queen bedroom with it's own bathroom (there is a 4th bedroom with 4 bunk beds). Two comfortable living areas made for easy separation of activities or togetherness - depending on what we wanted. The deck was great with a beautiful river view and of course, lots of deer. There were plenty of clean linens, soap, extra pillows, etc as well as clear instructions for all amenities.
The Cons:
After running several loads of dishes with the top rack coming out dirty, I discovered the spinning arm on the underside of the dish rack was installed upside down. This meant gravity and water pressure had totally clogged the holes with nasty, rotting food debris and more importantly, it was spraying the lower rack of dishes (not the upper). We had already emailed Village Properties photographs of a dirty bathroom at check-in - to which they responded right away saying they would "get back in touch promptly" and then gone completely silent with zero meaningful follow-up. We decided contacting them again was pointless and fixed the dishwasher ourselves. There was also a momentary power failure/surge during out stay which appeared to have fried the cable TV box in one of the master suites. We thought it odd there wasn't surge protection strips. Although the house provides lots of beds, the hot water was totally insufficient for even 6 adults and the heater was inaccessible to be adjusted to meet our needs.
All in all, we had a great time together and would recommend this home to friends. This said, when staying in a Village Property in the future, we will hold them accountable for better service.
