It was actually 2 queens and double xl twins. Overall stay was great. 5 stars, great host! ##### gretchen b. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Stephanie M. Jun 28, 2025 Liked: Check-in Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Dirty The house was absolutely disgusting when we got there. I had to clean both bathrooms and the kitchen. The only reason we stayed was because the kids wanted to have the foosball table and ping pong table. Plot twist…both were broken and we couldn’t use them. The only TV was in the basement and it didn’t work either. There was no dishwashing detergent or laundry detergent. Several of the doors were broken or off the hinges. We were super unimpressed with this house. ##### Stephanie M. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joe M.

Better lighting needed on porch to see keypad in the dark. The kitchen windows and front door need curtains for privacy. One tv in the basement was not sufficient nor comfortable. Much needed upgrade with bedroom decor if seeking the advertised 5 star. The curtains are worn out and did not fully cover the windows. Make sure house keeping clears out all trash from previous guest. Beer cans left in can in basement and driveway. Overall it was it was decent and the price was reasonable but just not what I’m accustomed to. ##### Rhonda H. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Haylee S.

Location was fine and listing was accurate, but the house has seen some ware since the photos were taken and could use some touch-ups and a deep clean. It could also help to put materials like bath towels or dish sponges out in the open rather than having guests hunt for them. ##### Andrew S.

The downstairs game/tv room was nice amenity. Wish there was a TV upstairs though so you weren’t as separated from family if you want to watch a game or news on TV. Outdoor fire pit was in bad shape and not useable. Overall house was small but nice and worked well for us. ##### Lee C. Stayed 4 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sabine J. Apr 6, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family biking weekend The house is beautiful, very clean and very spacious. We spent a lot of time downstairs, watching sports, playing ping pong and table foosball. We loved the proximity to bike trails, downtown and restaurants. Anything that needed to be communicated with owner/company went very smoothly and fast. If anything the only downfall is the limited seating space for eating as there is no dining table but only the barstools at the island. Fingerfood was the Choice. All in all, a wonderful family getaway. ##### Sabine J. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Amanda H. May 18, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful style and only 12 min. from the heart of the city! So the huge pros are that the house style is VERY nice and welcoming. The beds were REALLY comfortable which is rare to find! And of course being able to meet up with family in the city only 10-12 min. away very easily was a HUGE plus. The biggest downfall we found was that while the house appeared clean at first, we quickly found that it was actually VERY dirty/dusty in that we actually had to sweep and vacuum - esp. The rug. All plants in the house were covered in dust. The vents in bathrooms and living room are quite filthy which you may want to address. The whole place really needed a good mopping. I believe someone actually did mention this before in a review saying that it was surface clean but not deep cleaned. I did bring all this (the dust, vents, etc) to the owners attention. Esp. if they are paying a cleaning company who is not doing their job! Re: thermostat- when the air is on, the basement literally becomes freezing cold unless you turn heat on... which is a shame because the basement is HUGE and really awesome with games & tv is but we sadly did not spend much time down there due to the cold and not wanting to make the house hot with heat. Also be aware that the thermostat seems to default to different settings I'm guessing at different times of the day? During the night it would often get really hot. I kept thinking my husband was turning if off really early in the morning because it was too cold since he is up by 430 but found out the day before leaving that he hadn't been doing that so it wasn't necessary to then ask the owner about it. From the standpoint of suggestions after being a family of five staying there I would say that having a larger table would be VERY beneficial. Grabbed one of the living room chairs to pull up to the table for three of us and set up two of us at the bar table. (in the pics it shows 3 bar table seats but it is now only 2) It was a little tricky to additionally have our daughter and son in law over for dinner though we made it work. A larger trash can would be a great idea too! Other things to be aware of for the kitchen are that there is no toaster and we noticed the Teflon pots and pans are peeling pretty bad. We always bring our own large skillet to cook in and a good kitchen knife since we always find vacation house to be lacking lol Overall though, a pretty good stay and I just like to make sure families esp. are aware of the details I would've wanted to know when deciding on a house! ##### Amanda H.
