This historic home was so quaint and allowed our family to be together for a family funeral weekend. We will likely stay here for future family events. Anthony was very responsive.
The property was well laid out for a family get together.
Everyone enjoyed the stay. The property owner was very quick to react to any problem that we had.
We would use the property. again.
Friday to Sunday. We cooked in a well-appointed kitchen. We chatted around this fireplace and that fireplace. We played games. We grilled. Perfect family reunion
The house is in a quiet neighborhood, and the best of 4 rental houses we have stayed at in Decatur. The owner is VERY responsive to the very few issues we had. The house is well stocked with plenty of towels, supplies and spices/condiments, with great TV's and plenty of social space. Very comfortable with good light, and well maintained. Air conditioning works great also, and very comfortable.
Kitchen was great and fully stocked with everything you could need, including spices. The outside grill was new and worked great. It is an older house, so that meant some old oors, creaky floors, snd one of the bedrooms upstairs was very warm. They provided fans, andnothing was a deal breaker. The house also had more toys and games than expected which was a hit with 5 and 3 year old. We stay here again.
The house made for a wonderful place to gather family for the holidays. Not only was the house itself perfect and comfortable for a group our size, but it was festively decked out for Christmas. The hosts are communicative and clearly care about making their guests comfortable and cozy. Would highly recommend for anyone visiting Decatur.
Loved the house, worked great for our family girls weekend! Anthony (host) was great as well, responded to all questions and check in process was a breeze. Thank you for allowing us to use your home!
