Ratings and reviews
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Sep 2025
This was the most welcoming place I've ever stayed at. Everything was supplied for comfort and pleasure. I gave 3 stars for lack of communication. I didn't receive the door code until 2 hours after I arrived. So I had to go to a restaurant to get my laptop hooked up to see if there was a code in my email. There was no email giving owner info so I had to make calls back and forth to Vrbo. Every other place I've stayed at, the owners met me at the property at checkin time. We've all learned something from this and I would definately recommend this property.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Jul 2025
The TV could use a replacement (poor colors and audio,) and the showerhead is a bit short for my height, but the bed was comfortable, the included amenities were nice, and it felt like a good value for my trip. I would recommend this location!

6.0 / 10.0Average·Jan 2023
We were not a fan of the location. It seemed to be a rough neighborhood with a rowdy bar right across from the property. Beautiful house and accommodations but not so nice neighborhood.
