Awesome stay!
Enjoyed our stay at this house! The door key pad ran out of batteries and someone was there within 30 minutes to fix it. Very clean! And ramp was helpful for my father who has bad knees. Will definitely be coming back.

Great little house
The house was nice and accommodated our family of five well. It had basic needs like toiletries, laundry pods, and dishwasher pods. Plenty of dishes and utensils and plenty of towels. I wish the living room furniture had been more comfortable but all the beds were very comfortable. The only complaint I have is the floor. Whatever they clean the floor with left a residue and walking around barefoot left the bottoms of our feet black. Other than that everything was perfect and a great property for the money!

Clean house,
The house was clean. Although the yard could have been mowed. The front door code box went off and on during a heavy rain storm for over 2 hours at 6 am. The heavy rain was hitting the door , i suppose that is why it would be smart to put a cover box over it. box
