Mar 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great stay in Decatur! We had a nice stay at the Holiday House. The decorations made it extra fun! We had 3 adults and 5 small kids — it was nice to let the kids play with toys and in the yard while adults hung out. The hosts were great! We had no issues with our stay, but the hosts were quick to respond when we asked for a recommendation for St. Patrick’s Day festivities. ##### Kristopher B.
