The location was beautiful
10 / 10Outstanding·Feb 2026
It was a great experience easy access to shopping and restaurants. Very nice interior and worked great for our group of 6. A nice quiet street with plenty of parking for our three vehicles. If in the area again I would rent this spot again if available.
8 / 10Excellent·Aug 2025
Met our needs while in town to visit family. Has all the amenities and is clean. Beds could use a refresh but otherwise the place was comfortable, quiet, and safe.
6 / 10Average·Apr 2026
Overall, the house provided what we needed especially with the fenced in yard for the dogs, which was our main priority for the weekend. Luckily, it was only one person because the bathroom was very small and would have been challenging for a larger group. My biggest concern was the dead bugs in multiple rooms. Good to know they spray for bugs, but would have appreciated a good vacuum of the dead bugs before arrival. Additionally, while responses were quick, I had asked more than a week in advance if we could arrange late checkout. I continued to get responses until the day of checkout saying they still did not know and had not heard from the property manager. That lead me to believe that the communication was potentially with AI and not a person. So we never were told yes or no to late checkout, which would have been helpful for our schedule or at least planning.
