May 16, 2025 Liked: Check-in Disliked: Location, listing accuracy #### Ok We hadn't seen on the listing that this is a duplex so that was an unwanted surprise. The beds were comfortable and clean, but the kitchen was not well stocked with utensils. The neighborhood was noisy. ##### Michael W. Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tiffany O. Jun 7, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Experience ! The house was well maintained, clean, with many extras (laundry detergent, plenty of towels, extra blankets). It is not over furnished making the smaller floor plan feel plenty big for and allowing for plenty of space for an air mattress if needed. ##### Tiffany O.

Oct 2, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Aksarben stay We stayed at this property during the Aksarben livestock show. Property was just as described. Nothing fancy but we were only there to sleep and shower. We did have trouble getting in and out of the property with the lock box on the front door. If that process could be streamlined a bit it would be all 5 stars! ##### Marla v. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tami B. Nov 29, 2024 ##### Tami B.

Was not told it was a duplex, we'd be sharing with a neighbor who kept a barking dog. Toilet clogged repeatedly and ultimately stopped flushing. Wifi too weak to even use email. 5 remotes and couldn't figure out the TV, asked the owner and he didn't know, either. Plug-in air fresheners were gaggingly over powering. No written instructions anywhere for anything. No recycling. No kleenex. ##### dan n. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Barry S.
