Things we did not like:
1). kitchen cupboards doors not so clean, had dirt and grim on them so we cleaned the cupboard doors and the stove top was not clean either. We personally did not like all the "used" condiments in the refrigerator.
2). trim throughout house was dusty and dirty and the dining room light fixture was very dusty
3). carpet in living room and dining room look old but seem clean
4) bathroom window does not seal, left light on at night and in the morning there were at least 50 tiny flying bugs in the shower
5) stairs in this old house are very steep and narrow treads, I fell down them one night and badly bruised my tailbone
6). view of Lake Macatawa was only accessible from the upstairs front bedroom, kind of.... we stayed in late spring
7). Front porch smells musty so when we opened the windows to take advantage of the cooler air, all we could smell was the musty front porch
8). the mattresses were not comfortable for older parents, they were cheaper mattresses with what seemed like a mattress topper on it. Our backs were aching the whole time we were there. Our kids could handle it but we could not.
Other than the items listed above, the house was clean and orderly. We have stayed at houses in California that are the same price and in much better condition only a block from the ocean. This house was not worth the price. Wish the property would use the money we paid for our dog staying with us to clean the house better.
Things we did like:
1) having a code to lock and unlock the front door.
2) location was close enough to downtown and other things
3) safer area
4) cable and TV
