Oct 1, 2024 #### Great home Property is as advertised, very clean everything worked. Would go back. ##### Sean G. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Dannielle H. Feb 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Looks nice but very bare We stayed here for my daughter’s college swim meet. When we arrived there were several stink bugs and lady bugs dead all over the house. There was also very little toilet paper. Half a roll and 10th of a roll to last us 4 days. The locking mechanism on the door did not work properly and we were locked out in the cold for 45 minutes unable to get a hold of anyone to help. Even with use of the cleaner’s key, we could barely get in. If you are looking for a well stocked kitchen, this is not the place. If you forgot anything, you’re gonna have to run to the store. Also you may die pulling out onto the highway because you have to do it blind due to a fence and trees blocking your view of the road. ##### Dannielle H. Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Alexis S. Jul 30, 2023 Liked: Check-in Disliked: Communication, location #### Overall not thrilled The house looks nice in the pictures and has obviously been recently redone. However, there are some major issues - the biggest issue is that the one shower for the property is terrible. The water pressure is awful and barely even came out of the shower head - I had to get on my hands and knees and wash my hair in the lower shower spout, until my husband spent awhile trying to clear the nozzles in the shower head enough to get any water to flow out. The tub does not drain and obviously needs snaked/cleared. Also, whenever someone showers the plumbing leaks and somehow drips down all over the bottom of the stairs that lead to the exit, since this unit is on the second floor. There was no blow dryer and no body wash, and limited extra towels. I’d say it’s stocked to the bare minimum, at best. We were also very disappointed that there was no queen sized bed - only 3 full-size beds. Since we couldn’t see the address before booking, we had no way of knowing this was on a majorly trafficked road. The traffic was super loud at night with trucks and cars vrooming loudly - mostly just an issue because we had our 3 young kids with us. Also wouldn’t recommend this place for kids because there’s no way to block the stairs access and a young child could easily fall down the steep steps to the entry door. ##### Alexis S. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kurt H. Nov 11, 2024 #### Wonderful house for family This was a great house for our extended family to stay for a Notre Dame football game. It is all very new and clean. We stayed in the upper unit, so just know that there is a rental on the bottom floor that is separate. ##### Kurt H.
