Myself and 3 other guys. Property was clean. Property was exactly as described. Plenty of parking space. BBQ grill can probably be replaced. Nearing end of life. Fridge in Kitchen could use some maintenance, works great, just leaking water from bottom gasket. All other appliances in working order, air conditioning/heater works great. No complaints. Cleaning lady even stopped by to ask if we needed anything. Will definitely stay again whenever in the area. ##### Hunter F. Stayed 10 nights in Oct 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Therese F.

The house had multiple safety issues. 2nd floor deck was rotted & unsafe. Lower bedroom light didn’t work- flickered like a strobe light. Lower floor bathroom had extremely unsafe high walled tub with nothing to hold onto while step in & no nonskid strips on bottom of tub. Hinge broken on kitchen cabinet. ##### Therese F.

Jan 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Needs a lot of maintenance The property was clean, and check in was really easy. Location is nice. But it is definitly in the poorest shape of any VRBO I've stayed in. Two of the bedroom doors don't shut. Dishwasher is not mounted and comes out when you try to open the door.The corner cabinet in the kitchen has a broken door and has for months according to reviews.The tub spigot downstairs isn't mounted in the wall and pulls out when you turn the shower on.The light switch in the downstairs bathroom failed when we were here. Not the light and not the breaker.The deck is sagging and boards are popping up. Nails are sticking up. Not safe to use.Chairs at the upstairs table are missing bottom rungs and are wobbly. Didn't feel safe using two of the four.One of the basement bedrooms lacks a suitable fire escape. Just a small window too high to escape from.The steps are way too steep to be anywhere near code.Overall the finish of the place is pretty rough. Nothing was something that I felt warranted a call over the holiday for immediate repair. Just not what I have come to expect from a VRBO. ##### amberley d.

Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Amanda S. Sep 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy House was perfect for our weekend getaway. Clean and easy check in process. Had a few minor flaws but did not affect our stay. Only concern is the upper needs replaced and could be a safety issue. Would definitely recommend! ##### Amanda S.
