We stayed in house with a small school group. The house was not adequately equipped for this despite the host knowing there were 15 people coming for the advertised sleeps 15. The oven was broken and the burners on the stovetop also didn’t work. This was terrible for us as we planned to cook the entirety of our stay for the group.
The kitchen was not properly stocked and we had to ask for multiple kitchen utensils, pans, etc. - which the host brought after we asked. There were no large mixing bowls, serving dishes, etc. to accommodate a large group eating and cooking in the house. There were very limited utensils for cooking. Most VRBO's have a basic stock of spices to cook - garlic powder, chili powder , oregano, cumin, a small bottle of oil. The cupboard had salt, pepper, and sugar. I did not feel the kitchen was properly stocked at all.
It would also be nice if there were extra pillows, blankets, etc in the closets so that if students didn't want to use the same blanket in the bed they could have their own.
The host was accommodating after the fact but it was frustrating to have to ask for everything we needed instead of just having items at hand. I would recommend if you plan to cook at all (especially with a larger group) just be really clear with the host what you need so she can have it ready before you arrive.
The host was very friendly.
