Overall our stay was good and the host was great in terms of communication and friendliness. There is a lot of space and plenty of extra blankets, pillows, etc. I was a bit disappointed in the (lack of) cleanliness and a few of the lights and main living room TV not working (we suspected that it could just be a faulty extension cord) given the price of our stay, but I would consider staying there again if traveling in this area. A good deep clean would really elevate this property as a rental, but we really appreciated the kitchen and laundry amenities. Thanks for the stay!

Response from VrboOwner on 21 May 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We do appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. However, at no point during your stay were we made aware that the TV was not working. We had guests check out prior to your arrival and no concerns regarding the TV were reported. Regarding cleanliness, after each guest we complete a deep cleaning of the property, so we are unsure specifically what areas you felt were not clean. We certainly understand that everyone’s standards and expectations may differ. We also had the opportunity to speak face to face during your stay, and at no point were any concerns or issues expressed to us. In fact, our interactions seemed to indicate that everything was going well. That said, we are glad you enjoyed the space, kitchen, laundry amenities, and our communication and hospitality. We appreciate your stay and your feedback.
