The house was great, but let me explain...

Our stay in Amarillo was good. The keypad to access the property didn't work as described. Fortunately there were 2 front doors and one of them was unlocked. The door actually wouldn't lock at all, which the property manager handled quickly. Maintenance came over and fixed it.The house slept the number stated and it was well supplied with all necessities, including coffee & bath towels. It was clean and spacious.The stay gets a 0 stars because we were also scheduled to stay at this house 2 weeks following our initial stay. We were a group of Boy Scouts and leaders traveling to New Mexico. We were hiking in the mountains with no access to technology for 11 days. Upon gaining email access on the morning of the 7/16, the same day that we were scheduled to check-in to the house, I saw an email from VRBO changing our reservation to 7/21, without communication. I reached out to the property manager who didn't immediately respond. I accessed the booking engine and saw that the home was now booked for a multi-day stay. That left 5 adult leaders and 13 scouts with no place to stay in Amarillo (with 4 hrs notice). There was no explanation provided by the manager until the following day, which was unhelpful. It noted something about a new computer system that allowed the property to be overbooked. I do not believe the story. It was very convenient for the owner that our 1-day stay was rebooked to a day that obviously wouldn't work, and the multi-day reservation was kept. Shady.

We could not get in and had to get a hotel

We arrived at the property after an 8 hour drive and the key code didn’t work. It was about 8:00pm well after ck in time. I messaged through the vrbo app, called, and sent a text. We waited with our kids and pets for almost 2 hours. I kept messaging. We finally had to leave and go to a hotel. About an hour after that someone text with a new code to try. But it was too late. I’ve requested a refund several times, but no one will respond.

Wonderful Family Christmas Vacation

Our stay at The Craftsman was excellent. The house was clean, the beds were soft, and the space was large enough to host all 14 of us! The kitchen was a joy to work in with all the tools we needed to make a beautiful family feast for the holidays. I highly recommend this get-a-way location for family gatherings, anytime of the year!

Great communication from hosts

Great property! We arrived for check-in and the property had not been cleaned from the last guest--just a scheduling mistake from the housecleaners--but the problem was resolved completely and promptly by the hosts, who relocated us to a nearby property for the evening. Both properties were lovely and we were so grateful for the quick resolution.

Great for large family gathering

We chose this wonderful house for a family get-together. 11 people in total, 5 adults and 6 children. The house is lovely. It is over 100 years old, but well maintained and updated. Plenty of rooms and comfortable beds throughout the house, a "toy" closet for the kids, two updated bathrooms with nice features, and a very large dining room big enough for everyone. We found games to play, some DVDs, etc. The beds are large, comfy, and clean. The kitchen is immaculate and very modern with just about everything you need to cook for a large family. We did not bring any animals with us, but the property appears to be pet friendly with a nice sized yard, a kennel, and dog treats. There are TVs in just about every room. The neighborhood is quiet - we parked on the street in front of the house and had no problems. The location is pretty much central Amarillo- you can be on I40 in two minutes, or downtown just as fast. We did have a small issue with the door entry code, but the owner responded very quickly and took care of everything. My family loved the house, we had a great time. I highly recommend it, even if you dont havr a large group, theres plenty of value here for anyone looking for a nice place to relax.
