The house is conveniently located just off Hwy 41..Communication between the host and I was very good. Reasonably priced stay. There were some cleanliness issues which I brought up to the host. He assured me they would be taken care of , and apologized for them. An overall good stay.

Our stay was good and the property was as describe. We were in town for a weeding so we didn’t spend a lot of time hanging out at the house. Game room was cool and wish we had more time to enjoy it. Could use a few more bathroom and kitchen linens, but other than that we would definitely stay here again.

Nice stay in a clean, well appointed remodeled home. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen had what we needed including a Keurig for coffee. Side by Side fridge with ice maker. No issues with entry or WiFi. Home is in an older neighborhood. It is close to Diamond Diner with classic diner vibes where we a very good breakfast. Garage has a great game area. Unfortunately this trip was in January and It was a little too cold to hang out. Just an FYI, the driveway has a steep incline and is pretty narrow. Lower riding cars or large trucks might have an issue. There is street parking.

Quick get away

Three ladies getting away for a long weekend found a perfect oasis. This is a beautiful, quiet, property with a large private backyard. Perfect to enjoy time outside with the fire pit, yard games, a cook out. This place looks exactly like the pictures, everything is spotless and looks new. We had no problems getting checked in or out and our host was promptly available to message. We all enjoyed the beds and having our own rooms was so nice to relax. The game room in the garage was a great assess !! What a nice way for us to have fun and activities without spending extra money. We were not familiar with Evansville but found this to be a pretty close drive to everywhere we wanted to go. It was easy to hop on the highway. We are midwesterners, so we are familiar with driving everywhere. Places we ate and enjoyed; Gerst (German food and a fun environment), Pangea kitchen (yummy pizza and deep dish), Big Top drive in (classic old drive in, giant sundaes, yummy burgers and grippo fries), Frankie’s (delicious breakfast), River city coffee (yummy coffee and adorable gift shop). We also enjoyed shopping and walking around by the river. A great meet up place to relax. Would stay again !

The home was very nicely decorated, very clean and in a great location at the end of a street. The backyard is very beautiful where you can hang out and enjoy being outside. The game room is a great touch and would have been used more if we would have been in town longer. Enough space for our family. Great and quick communication by property owner/manager. Location was close to University of Evansville where we spent most of our time for baseball.
