Jun 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amherst I would definitely stay there again. There was a few little things that could be improved, like cheap sheets on the beds, but ill bring my own next time. ##### Aaron S. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Patti s. Sep 15, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication Disliked: Cleanliness #### Amherst Ohio The furniture was very uncomfortable in living room. Stove and refrigerator were filthy. Landscaping was horrendous. Gnats were flying all over the house as well as long black bugs crawling on the floors. Last but not least the dishwasher didn’t work. We also paid for pets but did not bring them with us. We would appreciate our deposit returned. ##### Patti s. Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### John E. May 28, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Not the best PROS: responsive management, accommodated late check out, property as described, easy check inCONS: cleanliness (dusty as if it had been cleaned a long time before our arrival - not deep cleaned layers of dust on heat registers, under bed, etc), bottom sheets on all beds kept popping off and pillows extremely flat, shampoo in only one shower, slow internet, lawn un-mowed and property overgrown, bedroom thresholds broken and cracked, furniture odd ( weird chaise sofa in living room - only one nightstand per bedroom) and my biggest pet peeve - advertised as sleeps 6 but there are only 4 kitchen chairs even though there are room for more! 2 people needed to stand to eat!My family kept saying Management needs to move their family in for a weekend and see how this place functions and improve accordingly as it has great potential. ##### John E.
