The kitchen facilities are spacious and have every item needed for dishware, utensils and appliances. Bring your groceries and clothing and enjoy! ##### Vicki P.

There were 4 of us in town for the Strathmore Rodeo which was only 5 minutes away. The home is very clean and lovely, and has everything we needed for cooking. Our host was wonderful and communication was great. Oops, We accidentally set off the smoke alarm so we even got to meet the local fire department and the owner. They were all very gracious for our mistake. Would definitely recommend this beautiful home! ##### Lynn S. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Melissa H. Mar 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful weekend stay We had a wonderful weekend at this house. The contact for the house was wonderful and very accommodating and responsive. We had forgotten a few items and they shipped them back to us! The kitchen was well stocked with everything you could ever need and the house was spacious enough for our family gathering of 7 adults and 6 children. A few things we brought to the attention of the owner is the carpet in the basement bedroom needed a deep cleaning or replacement as it did not appear that clean. The kitchen was amazingly well stocked but there were no empty cupboards for putting our own food and items in. Other than that we had a wonderful stay. ##### Melissa H. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Carla A. Jul 14, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Unacceptable rental Upon arrival we discovered a house not well cared for and amenities dirty. The grounds were overgrown. The sheets on multiple beds had hair on them, were thread bare, and rumpled The throw blankets and some of the bedding smelled of BO. There were stains on the furniture, broken fingernails on the rug, sunflower seeds on entry carpet, toilets filthy. Due to the unclean nature it was hard to be in the house. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9158ebf7-0924-4456-a98a-7b08e1628119-1752474066799.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6f99da27-5cd6-4f9b-b05c-baaf8e38be37-1752474066321.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6ec11ad4-1927-4787-af4f-33d4691c7954-1752474065782.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Carla A.
