Except for the odd check-in stumble at 4:30 pm, where we were supposed to be sent the property access electronic key in a separate email, the stay was excellent. The property was exceptionally clean and cozy. My family enjoyed their time spent at the house.

Clean, convenient and great space

House was exactly what we needed - close proximity to Badin Lake, clean, easy to access and with comfortable beds. The host was helpful and quick to respond to questions. Others have mentioned proximity to the road, and while the house is right off the highway, there is great tree cover and we didn’t find the noise from passing traffic bothersome.

Overall Great Stay!

Overall we had a great stay! The pictures were accurate to appearance and amenities provided were great! My only “issue” was that there was a bit of a dog smell to the house and areas like the couches/rugs had visible dog hair, otherwise it was clean. It was definitely a cozy and welcoming house and beautifully surrounded by nature.The Host was also very pleasant and easy to communicate with for the whole booking and checking in/out process.

Sorry, Melissa our usual cleaner was on vacation and sent a stand-in who must not have done the cleaning to our usual standards. We have addressed this.
