The location and communication with the host was good, but unfortunately that was overshadowed by the overall cleanliness of the property. The floor had dog hair and cobwebs, old food in the couch cushions, the outdoor refrigerator where we were given space to put our groceries had to be scoured before we could use it, front yard had dog poop in it that smelled. The list goes on, but the host did agree to give us a partial refund.
We had a great time here. It was exactly what we wanted, a nice place, that we could have a fire at night, and sit out under the stars! We didn't enjoy the lake, that is literally right across the street, but the access to it was perfect. There's always next time!
Melissa was a great host, and great with communication. No surprised for us! Will definitely be back!

Disappointed stay
Pulled up and there was dogs barking behind the house, didn’t think we were in the right place. House had a bad smell, bathroom was not very clean, obviously they live there when not rented, pretty uncomfortable situation, couldn’t figure out the tv, 2nd fire pit not sure where it was. Basically nothing to do there, will not return!
