Jun 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Such a cool place! We absolutely loved our stay at the Locust. The property was better than described. When we pulled up we were more than surprised to see a sauna that wasn’t yet on the listing. The house was great. Plenty of room for both of us and our two dogs. We enjoyed sitting outside in the hammocks both during the day and at night to check out the stars. French press coffee is the way to go(If you were wondering)! We ran into Jonathon, one of the managers, who was working on one of the other properties and he was so nice to talk to and went out of his way to make certain that we had the best stay! Such a wonderful person to meet. Go! You won’t be disapointed. ##### Jeremy S. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Debbie S. Jan 16, 2025 ##### Debbie S.
