Great Place
We came for Homecoming weekend for our HS kids. We enjoyed the 21/2 bathrooms and plenty of places to sleep. The home was updated, clean, and very comfortable. The location to everything was great for a short weekend. Would definitely be back.

Nice little house…but
When we arrived the house was clean. Except for the refrigerator, which smelled like rotten fish. I spent two hours cleaning it so I could put our food in it, only to find out the next day that it wasn’t cooling and ruined food for 8 people for 3 days. I did contact the property manager and they dropped a small fridge on the porch for us to use. It was full of bugs. The neighborhood is a little sketchy if I’m honest. The neighbors were very friendly, but the area looks really rough in some spots. Also, the AC situation is a bit uncomfortable. It just doesn’t cool enough for the heat of summer. Several rooms couldn’t be shut due to the heat. The beds need to either be replaced or need mattress toppers. They are very hard and uncomfortable. I was given a $125 refund which didn’t even begin to cover what I lost financially from the refrigerator going out. We had to eat out for several meals due to this issue which was not in the plan. The fact that we pay a cleaning fee and I had to clean the fridge was terrible and there’s no way the cleaning crew wasn’t aware of the smell because they had put baking soda in it. Your property managers should be verifying these places are CLEAN if your charging fees for cleaning.

Spring Break
My family and I stayed at this property for a few days during spring break. The stay was amazing. The house was super clean and had all the essentials we needed for a home away from home. The kids had a lot of fun and all the amenities made things easier. We will definitely be staying here again in the future.

New Years trip with friends
Two families of four stayed at this charming cottage for a New Year's get away. The home was immaculate. Comfortable beds, well appointed kitchen and lots of little attention to detail that we appreciated. Location/proximity to attractions was great.
Only issue was the smoke detectors. The first time we cooked, we set off the smoke detectors but we were frying bacon and did smoke up the kitchen little bit. After that, EVERY detector in the house went off EVERY time we cooked anything, whether stove top or inside the oven. We didn't burn anything and other than the first morning's bacon, there was no smoke. I have never experienced anything like it. Very annoying and frustrating. Not sure if the detectors have sensitivity settings or if there are too many for the size of the property? A rolling cart/butcher block in the kitchen would be a nice addition as the counter space is limited. Otherwise it was great and lots well appointed with utensils, appliances etc
