The owner was super communicative and accommodating in allowing us to have some packages shipped directly to the property. When a smoke detector had a bad battery, the owner took care of it in less than half a day. Great house and great host! ##### Rich S. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris M.

We traveled during the blizzard and arrived the evening of 15" of snow fall. The property was very nice as expected. The manager communicated with us trying to ensure the driveway would be cleared with all the snowfall for our arrival. Neighbors were great when we got our vehicle stuck out in the unplowed street. They helped us get to the driveway. The city a short while later had the streets cleaned. great weekend for us. ##### Chris M. Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Pat H. Dec 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Clean and kind If it wasn’t for a few things they would’ve had five stars. The garbage disposal was broken (made that nasty). There were only four chairs and there were eight of us (that was a bummer). The blinds in the front of the house are all broken and makes you feel like you are walking into a house like that. Once you are in the house it was clean and the manager was responsive, but it was during the holidays so not easy to get things fixed. The furniture could be better. ##### Pat H. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Chris S. Apr 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location and accommodated everyone (group of 10) We had 8 adults and 2 children staying for the weekend. Everyone had their own space and was comfortable. Beds were surprisingly comfortable and plenty of linens for our needs. Location of the property was near perfect for everything we had planned. If you have kids or pets, the yard leaves quite a bit to be desired. A little upkeep there and all's good. Daniel was "Johnny on the Spot" with communication so no issues there. Clean dishes were left in the dishwasher when we arrived and we discovered damage to the couch in the living...which we communicated to Daniel immediately. Other than the yard needing some care, I would recommend having some additional seating available. For a group as big as ours, half of us were sitting on the floor when hanging out or eating together. ##### Chris S. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karee S.
