We had a wonderful time. There was plenty of space and we were very comfortable. I loved the way it was decorated and that there were tvs in all of the bedrooms. We also enjoyed all of the snacks. Thanks for making it a great trip for us!

Great place. Comfortable and well stocked. Close enough to walk to many restaurants, parks and Carytown. Enjoyed my week there.

6 / 10Average·Jul 2025
Our stay was fine overall, but there were quite a few issues that made it less enjoyable than we hoped.The air conditioner made a loud *boom* sound every time it turned on and off, which was especially disruptive at night.When we arrived, the bottle of Dawn dish soap at the kitchen sink was completely empty. I let the owner know, and their only response was, *“Let me know if you’d like me to bring some.”* I felt a more proactive approach would have been appropriate.There was also a leak from the fridge when using the water dispenser — bad enough that we had to soak up the water with several small towels any time we used it. The owner said they’d get someone to fix it *after* we left, which didn’t help us during our stay.The back gate didn’t function well either. The temporary fix was a bungee cord, which was awkward to use. The back sliding door with a curtain that didn’t slide easily was difficult to use.As for the location — it was fine, but a bit worn and rough around the edges. There are definitely more charming areas to stay and I’d search a little harder for something nicer.Overall, the visit was okay, but between the disruptive noise, maintenance issues, and a generally “just okay” atmosphere, we probably wouldn’t return.
