Lovely home away from home

We stayed here during the motorcycle rally. Such a nice place and neighborhood. Full size kitchen and well stocked. Place to park our bikes and grill and hang out. We all just loved it.

Small but okay

Easy to check in. The house was clean, organized and appealing. This is a home to lay your head at night, it’s too small and virtually no room to have family nights etc. we did have a few bugs, the sheets had blood marks and the walls had a few dead bugs squished. We did report this to the property manager in writing and still haven’t heard back (weeks later). The kitchen was fully stocked, I wish there were extra sheets. We actually purchased more at Walmart. The bathroom could be cleaned better. The storage organizers were dirty and rusty. The stay was okay. I wouldn’t stay again. There are no closets in the home for clothes or any storage.
