Kitchen was marginally equipped for cooking. Different features were of average quality. Drawers in kitchen performed poorly. Bathroom was marginal. No plug for sink or tub until we asked. Washer worked, dryer was terrible and we had to hang clothing around to dry. Beautiful property. Landscaping exceptional but interiors were lacking.
