Jul 9, 2025 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Birthday summer celebration First impression was ok but the lack of cleaning was evident as we settled in. We really loved the location, outside shower and bikes. The house is very spacious and great for entertaining. The kitchen had everything needed for cooking. There was garbage left out on ground near cans and the yard needed mowing. The decks, outside tables and seating needed to be blown off. All of the blinds inside and out were very dirty, I had to check all windows as the ones in basement were unlocked. The laundry room drain needs to be cleaned because of the smell that was noticeable. The hammock needs to be move to another location. Overall it was enjoyable except for check in and check out times, not convenient. ##### Samuel A. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Harpreet K.

It’s a beautiful house with perfect floor plan and beautiful kitchen but needed a good deep cleaning ##### Harpreet K. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [NEW!
