When we arrived the electricity was off due to a storm. Tom called the utility company, the owner, and others to try to get generators and agreed to pay for lodgings elsewhere.Fortunately, power got restored and we were able to stay. Plenty of cookware, dishes, even spices in kitchen. House was clean with plenty extra blankets.
