Pleasant stay

This house had everything we needed. The location was within 20 minutes of everything we needed and wanted to do. There’s plenty of room so you’re not on top of each other. The owner was responsive and friendly. We will stay here again when we need to see family.

Spacious and comfortable

Nice 4 bedroom home in a quiet neighborhood. Short trip to downtown. Game room was a nice surprise. 2 living rooms upstairs with a well equipped kitchen. Nice deck on side of house to enjoy the fresh air.

Great home in a nice neighborhood

What you see (in the pictures) is what you get. Very nice house where everyone was able to relax before and after a family wedding. Plenty of room and very clean. All the comforts of home in a nice neighborhood. We couldn’t find a coffee maker but they had a keurig that worked great.

Property is clean - very spacious. Kitchen cooking and food storage supplies are lacking tremendously. The WiFi is not strong enough to handle multiple devices without buffering.

The location was close to downtown which was helpful as we drove to the Caseys Center three days in a row. It was in a quiet neighborhood where we felt safe. The house was spacious and had everything we needed for our four night stay.

Host was responsive to questions. House had cooking utensils, sheets and towels. Safe and quiet area. Game room was fun for the kids. 2 tv in the house to be able to watch separate things. The only downfall was all the beds were very uncomfortable either too hard of a mattress or could feel the springs through one of them.

Pleasant neighborhood, easy access to downtown. It was comfortable enough. This could be a phenomenal place with a little better housekeeping and attention to detail. It was very reasonably priced and I imagine a family would love the basement game room. The owner was responsive to text and email communication.Six lightbulbs were burned out. We had to scavenge bulbs and lamps from other rooms in order to have bedside lamps. I did not receive a welcome/instruction letter until after check-in time. I was able to get in because the address and door code was on the vrbo site. It was not as clean as I am used to seeing at other vrbo properties. There was lots of food crumbs in the kitchen drawers, the oven was dirty and the ceiling fans had visible dust build up on the blades. Only 1 kitchen towel and washcloth for a 3 night stay.

Perfect for the whole family

We had such a great stay in this house. Very big and clean. The patio was such a great relaxing place that we got to sit out there and see squirrels. Laundry detergent and fabric softner available for us. Neighborhood was quiet, tv was easy to navigate. If we come back we will stay here again!

The house is great for a large family. Lot’s of room! The game room was awesome. I don’t think the cleaning lady is doing that great of a job. The deck outside definitely needs some cleaning and maintenance. The neighborhood was nice and quiet and in a good location.
