Nice and clean
All the mapping apps except for Apple Maps took us to a different location 30 minutes away. So we drove to the wrong location and had to figure out where the actual location was. It would be helpful to put detailed directions in the listing so this doesn’t happen to other renters. Once we got to the place it was super nice and clean. We enjoyed our stay.

Nice and quiet
Had a nice stay to visit family. More family decided to stay last minute and host was appreciative of the notice. Communication was good. It is a quiet place to stay- we loved birding on the bridge in the morning. Appliances worked well and everything was clean. Would stay there again!

I stayed at Melody House and my Family Stayed at Harmony House
Upon arriving from my flight late at night, a VRBO with no check in was a welcome site. Until we got to the wrong address. We attempted to break into the house at the address at midnight from the email that I was sent. Thank you all that is great, that no one was home. After calling her she apologized and we packed the car back up and went to her other property. We got right in and immediately found mice. Over 2 days we killed 5 mice and the traps finally remained untouched after that. The owner claimed to have no knowledge of the mouse problem but there were traps literally in every room of the house. Clearly there is a pre existing mouse issue. Our family staying at her other property also had a mouse infestation. After informing her of this, her resolution was “Sorry, I’m sending an exterminator, we had no idea.” THANK God we didn’t realize this bit until packing up. The sheet under the sheet we were sleeping on had what can only be assumed are blood stains on it. Our sheet had a brown splotch on it as well which we sadly assumed was mouse related and just went with…... Overall, this was a sketch on the cleanliness scales for any VRBO I’ve ever stayed in.

We loved the house and it was such a peaceful setting. It is perfect if you want to get away from everything and enjoy nature. It’s a big space and very clean.

Great weekend getaway
Lovely quiet wooded house with so much charm and character. Great to getaway from Baton Rouge or surrounding area. You feel like your in arknsas. We had fires in the indoor and outdoor fireplaces. Close to hiking at tunica hills. Very quiet remote location.

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Melody, and we recommend it to others! My favorite aspect of the property was the covered porch. I could have stayed there forever. All that said, the property is a bit distressed. I texted the host multiple times and only heard back twice, which was very disappointing. Lastly, if you are arriving at night it is extremely challenging finding The Melody because the sign is not lit up nor is the entrance. If you are relying on GPS, it has you driving past it and trust me . . . in pitch dark . . . The Melody is not visible!!!!!!!! Once we knew where it was located, driving back at night after dinner was still tricky but doable (often having to turn around and try again). There are solutions available if the host wants to improve the experience.
