Property makes you feel like you are in the country even with other houses close by. Plenty of bedrooms. Hocky table was a big hit for the grandchildren. Unfortunately we couldn't use pool because of the weather.

No bathroom downstairs, those people must come up to main level for bathroom access. Kitchen was not the cleanest. Minimal dishes for cooking for large group. Upper deck did not appear safe.

We had zero communication from Michelle before, during or after bc we would have been happy to accommodate them with needed items. Maybe she didn’t reach out bc there were 10 adults plus children staying exceeding the limit of 10 people. (We have saved pictures from our outdoor cameras). The bathroom situation is listed and explained on the booking site. Also the deck was inspected by an engineer 3 years ago so just an opinion from this guest.

Great place to spend the holidays with a large family!

The house was nicely decorated for Christmas including a Christmas tree. I had a large family arriving at different days during the week. The only thing that would have made it better would have been a bathroom in the downstairs area. I would definitely stay there again!

Great setting in central location

Location central to Shaker Village, Danville and Lexington - we spent a day in each, along with several tours on the Bourbon Trail. The house provided a wonderful gathering place, with kitchen/living room, front porch and firepit. Enjoyed the rural location, with lots of walks in the neighborhood. The house has been nicely updated and has lots of nice decorating touches. Very comfortable for our group of 6 senior (or almost senior) women.

Family Wedding

Came for a Family Wedding. Stayed from a Friday to Sunday. Danville KY was about 30 Minutes away. It's the closest city, enjoyed the shopping area. Had a Bk, McDonald's, Cracker Barrel and a Pizza/Italian Buffet called Giovanni's very good. Has a Walmart and Ollie's. Good location to check out for shopping. House was Beautiful inside, nice setup upstairs and downstairs. Hopefully Host got toilet downstairs in full working condition so you can have full use of toilet & tub. All in all we had a nice Visit.

Guests clogged the downstairs toilet after being asked when checking in to be mindful about what they flushed down it. The property is on a septic tank and there are signs above the toilets reminding them to use caution. To avoid the warnings and then to indicate we should fix it is unreasonable.

The property was amazing. Had a few issues when we were there. The pump on the pool never turned on that we know of. The down stairs bathroom would not drain properly and we could not use the toilet.

So so

One toilet didn’t work, no railing at entrance, ceiling fan in kitchen was filthy, several chairs in the kitchen were broken. Our car drug when we pulled out of gravel parking area. We had 2 on canes and with no railing it was very hard entering and leaving.

Response from VrboOwner on 19 October 2024
Jean complained about the costs from the time they made the reservation wanting more of a discount. There are no chairs broken in the kitchen. There is one step to the porch and one step from the porch to the house so there is no rail. However there is a side entrance with a rail to hold onto but more steps. Yes the driveway is on a hill but nothing which isn’t uncommon in KY. KY is not flat terrain. Yes one toilet was not made available with 3 toilets in the home bc a previous guest that checked out the day before clogged it with baby wipes. An unfortunate temporary problem.

Nice Place

We enjoyed our stay and were pleased with the house overall. It was very clean and communication was top notch and timely. Our only issue was the cleanliness of the pool. The pool required us to thoroughly skim it (well over an hour) and we were unable to completely remove the large amount of decayed and decaying leaves. When questioning whether the pump was operational we were told that it was on a timer to run over night. While we believe that this was the case the cycle may need to run for a much longer time due to its location under a walnut tree. Overall we had a great stay.

Response from VrboOwner on 12 July 2024
The property is located in a wooded area surrounded by trees. It is not possible to keep debris from falling into the pool. Not possible to keep it looking like a “commercial hotel” pool. Would consider having it cleaned daily for a fee. If Tony would have requested this we would have provided but didn’t communicate this until they checked out.

The house was nice and kept up. Built on the side of a hill so the road was almost above the house roof. Needed to use the 4x4 a couple of times to get on the road. Not much of a drive way but again not a major deal. Was informed the first day of our booking that the pool pressure gauge was broken the day before, the owner had ordered the part, but didn’t know if it would be fixed during our stay. The owner said that the pool was clear and ph level and chlorine were good. I have included a picture of the pool to let you be the judge. This fix should not have taken over 5 days had someone actually tried. I’m sure this part could have been found somewhere in the surrounding area had someone actually tried. The landscaping of the house looked like it hadn’t been touch since spring. Being on the side of a hill, didn’t leave much desire to have little ones playing outside.

Response from VrboOwner on 11 August 2025
The guest wants to tell part of the story. Yes a previous guest that checked out the day before broke the pressure gauge and we had secured it tight enough to run the pump as long as water levels were maintained. On the day of check in a message was left asking the guest to call so the pool could be explained. He called upset and would not listen to what happened. He had already tried to remove the gauge which caused our plan on how to run the pool to no longer work. In other words he broke it all the way off. He called a 2nd time telling me how to fix it. The next morning he sent a message through VRBO asking for a refund. I indicated he could find another place and I would refund for all but one night…no response from him. We too have a picture of the pool he checked it and records of the PH and Chlorine level. On the issue of the landscaping, the yard is on a hill and the yard/grass area is maintained. The woods that surrounded the house are not maintained. The guest indicated that he would have 10 people staying in the house. We have record via out door cameras of 14 people who stayed at the house. Avoid this guest if you are a VRBO host!
