8 / 10Excellent·Jan 2026
The house was very clean and decorated adorable. Perfect for our family. Our daughter was getting married. Perfect for what we needed. The kitchen was pretty well stocked. If we needed anything such as hangers in the closets, they were brought over immediately. Yes, the house was pet friendly. Thank goodness. The only thing I would suggest because of allowing pets is removing all of the carpets. There were stains in one of the bedrooms. I’m just sure it would be easier to maintain. We were there for five days. The bedrooms could possibly use a small set of drawers for cloths to be placed in. We had to keep ours in our suitcases. The closets were great for all clothes needed to be hung. I would stay at this VRBO again and recommend it to others. The location was close to everything.

The house was perfect for our family ranging from ages baby to grandparent. It was very clean and accommodating with extra special touches. The house was large enough where we could spread out but all hang out in the living area together as well. Great location close to downtown.
