The overall home was clean and host communicated great. Upon arrival the downstairs smelled very heavily of smoke, which was frustrating due to one of the guest allergies. Thanks to the first day of nice weather, we were able to open window and air out a bit. Other than that it was a great stay. We had a huge snow storm while staying, and the host had the snow cleared while we were out for the day.
