Dec 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Christmas present weekend for my family Overall the house was what we needed for our family’s getaway. The only knocks I have were cosmetic things. the master shower was pretty small. I wouldn’t expect a refrigerator to have dings all over the front of the doors. Coffee table front legs looked as if it would fall over if a lot of weight was put on table. There was a stain on carpet when you came in front door. Couches and beds were very comfortable. Trim outside needed painting. Location was great for us to to get to GEHA field easily and there was plenty of food options in the area. ##### Ken T.
