10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Aug 2025
Lovely home surrounded by trees. Very close to downtown. Well appointed and super cozy. Very responsive to my questions. We had a great time!
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Aug 2025
The property was great overall. As advertised!!! The only glitches were our misplacement of the door code. During the stay, we were unable to lock the front door. The TV was a mystery. Suggest. a written hand book on how the door locks work and how to operate the TV. Wanted to get PBS and NBC on but it was impossible. The thermostat should have an operating manual for those unfamiliar with that thermostat.Written instructions for these three would save a lot of hassle for guests and the local representative.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jul 2025
Quite an enjoyable stay at this somewhat oddly designed house on top of a hill overlooking the Highlands. The driveway is well hidden (and steep) so make sure to watch closely for the house number on a large tree. But once up the driveway, it expands into an area for 4 cars. Kitchen/Bathrooms are all modern and nice. Wrap around decks give it its Treehouse name, and on the top floor you can see over the trees and the surrounding area. Location is perfect- less than 0.5 mile from downtown, and there was always plenty of parking even on a late June weekend. Bruce (contact host) was awesome and great communication.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Mar 2023
Location is excellent but you can definitely tell this property is run by a management company. House was clean except for the inch of dust on the windows over the master bed. Upstairs TV did not work and after letting Dale know, all he could say was “they were very sorry.”
Everything outside was covered in pollen, so we did not take advantage of the outside seating. Only one burner on the grill worked so we changed our minds on cooking outside.
Ample towels, beds slept great. Overall a 3 out of 5. Pantry was not stocked.
Kiddos wanted to watch March Madness but since the upstairs TV did not work, we all crammed downstairs to watch.
This could be a 5 star house if it was managed by the owners or someone with a personal vested interest.
