10 / 10Outstanding·Dec 2025
Everything was wonderful, kate was very helpful, beds were comfy. We all had a great holiday.
10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2025
We really enjoyed our stay! The antique décor gave the place so much character, and it’s just a short 5-minute walk to Smiths Lake. The big private yard was lovely too. The only small downside was that there weren’t basic amenities like soap, shampoo, or napkins—adding those would make the stay perfect!
8 / 10Excellent·Jan 2025
Very comfy home with great yard & well provided kitchen.however,---the need to bring our own sheets & towels was a bit of a nuisance.Both showers leak from below the doors making wet floors.The two single mattresses were very soft due to broken bases, so had to be put on the floor to sleep.There was no soap in dispensers & no rinse-aid in the dishwasher.Plastic cups for the kids would be a good idea.
6 / 10Average·Jan 2026
No locks for bathrooms.No shmpaoo, body wash etc.TV is not working properly.
