Great Space and Location

The location of the property was great. Short distance to local monuments, outdoor activities, restaurants and shopping. The interior was well appointed with full size appliances and comfortable furniture. Plenty of room to spread out and relax. Having garage access was an added bonus on days when weather was challenging. If you enjoy pickle ball there are courts adjacent to complex.

CMU Graduation Stay

Had a hard time with the electronic entry code to get door open several times during our stay...kitchen and living/dining space was nice. 2nd bedroom was on the small side and noticed after day 2 that there was a lot of animal fur on our clothing and floor in our vehicles. Issues with the thermostat, but good commnictation. Location was convenient.

Great property! Minor issue unable to watch programming on TV. Guess one needs to bring all of their own passwords for their own streaming serviced. If that is the case gusts should be warned of this in advance?

Overcharges, noisy neighbors, poor heating, awful check-in process, etc…

- Price is not as advertised. You will be charged more than advertised on VRBO and only get a refund AFTER your stay if you complain to VRBO - Don’t stay here if you want to get some sleep. The walls are paper-thin and the neighbors stay up (blasting the TV/stereo) past 1am. - Winter rental is not recommended… All the heat flows to the top floor, leaving it sweltering and the bottom freezing- Gas fireplace does not work- Check in process is needlessly laborious, because the owners will have you sign another agreement, in addition to the VRBO agreement … and there is no option for e-signature
