This was the most welcoming place I've ever stayed at. Everything was supplied for comfort and pleasure. I gave 3 stars for lack of communication. I didn't receive the door code until 2 hours after I arrived. So I had to go to a restaurant to get my laptop hooked up to see if there was a code in my email. There was no email giving owner info so I had to make calls back and forth to Vrbo. Every other place I've stayed at, the owners met me at the property at checkin time. We've all learned something from this and I would definately recommend this property.

Easy, cozy, and good value

The TV could use a replacement (poor colors and audio,) and the showerhead is a bit short for my height, but the bed was comfortable, the included amenities were nice, and it felt like a good value for my trip. I would recommend this location!

Visiting my daughter at college

This was the perfect place for me to stay and hang out with my daughter. She was able to come over for a home cooked meal and just have a change of pace from dorm life. It was a cozy little cottage. Perfect!

State Wrestling

It was clean and exactly as described. It does have a full kitchen so you can cook. We had state wrestling that weekend and it was about less then 10 min drive. Casey's is right across the street. Car sat out front on street and we never had any issues. Definitely would stay again.

Good property bad location

We were not a fan of the location. It seemed to be a rough neighborhood with a rowdy bar right across from the property. Beautiful house and accommodations but not so nice neighborhood.
