Loved the house and location. Stayed for three nights, two adults and two teenagers. Walked and biked. Close to downtown. Nice river walk area and local businesses.
8 / 10Excellent·Mar 2026
Pros: Very cute inside with lots of warm tones, old home charm and character. Nicely refurbished. Great tea selection for guests (thankful for that, since most hosts just supply a few days worth of coffee). Great location to all the local restaurants, sporting events, entertainment and walking. Cons: cleaning crew needs to do a better job with dusting, trash cans, “detailed work”. Outside is a bit deceiving, since yard and patio is not maintained, Christmas lights and decorations still up, but did appreciate the rocking chairs on the front porch to enjoy the weather and read. Took us 35 minutes to get into our rental once we got there, since the key code sent to us was not active, and the host was not responsive. Worked back-and-forth on the phone with VRBO and then all of a sudden the keypad worked.Overall, a good choice for a weekend rental when it comes to location and charm.

Pulled up to an overgrown lawn / weeds, leaves all over the deck and a dead mouse on the front step. Although the inside is cute and modern there are dead insects on the floor and live insects on the ceiling. Mouse trap near trash. Saw a cat and opossum in the yard during the day. One of our guests got woken up due to clawing in their locked closet in the middle of the night. (Something larger than a mouse!) He had to move to the couch for the rest of the night. Would not stay here again.
