Expectations

Everything was perfectly nice, but the hot tub. It was listed so was expecting to be able to use it. My family loved having thier own room while we traveled,and i loved having more then one restroom. Thank you

Nice property Big

First off I’d like to say that I only give four stars unless something was exceptional and unexpected. Communication and how the host were accommodating was fantastic! 5 stars! It’s a nice property and very comfortable. However it could use some cosmetic maintenance, but the host are just starting out in VRBO and I believe that with each guess, the property will just get nothing but better and better. The only thing I rated three stars was the location. Overall the location is fine and would be great if somebody wanted to stay in the area for a weekend or weeks. However, The driveway is on a hill and caution needs to be exercised when exiting the property because of oncoming traffic. I would definitely recommend this property.

Lovely home in great neighborhood

We loved the spaciousness and home feeling of this home. The hot tub was an amazing perk. Our kids especially loved the giant love sacks for lounging. Very accommodating home and a very safe feeling neighborhood.

Nice House and Cool Hot Tub.

House is in a nice neighborhood and is in decent condition for its age. Very cool hot tub. Our experience was a bit diminished by the carpet downstairs and the smell of urine stains. If the carpet downstairs was replaced I would give it 5 stars. Nice and welcoming host.

Health and wellness Retreat

My family and I had a Health and Wellness Retreat due to the deaths in the past year. The house was big but the couches had holes in them. The carpet downstairs was dirty. The hot tub was dirty. There was no extra sheets or blankets, or towels or wash clothes so i had to go purchase some which I left there at the house. We tried to get the tvs to work but unfortunately there was no instructions on how to get them to work . If things where fixed properly I might stay there again because it has space for my huge family.
