The only issue was the drive way was very difficult to pull into, due to a dip between the road and the driveway. We didn't feel comfortable leaving the car on the road due to the neighborhood.

Thanks for the review Donnie! We do let guests know about the driveway in our pre-arrival information so there are no surprises, but we understand it may not be ideal for every vehicle or driver. We’ve also had no issues reported regarding the neighborhood, though we appreciate the feedback. Thanks again for staying with us, and you’re welcome back anytime!

We had a great time. The beds are very comfortable. The kitchen was very easy to to fix stuff. If there was a complaint, it would be that the orange couch railing was hurting our legs. Otherwise, it was a great time.

Liked: Check-in, communication
Being that it was multiple families with children the privacy of the master bathroom door was poor. The front room seating was small and uncomfortable for 3 families. The kitchen floor by the refrigerator is loose, no kitchen towels. Hall bathroom shower and sink wouldn’t drain, had to turn off water during shower. Bought drano to clear shower. Laminate floor is raising in that bathroom by the tub/ shower. Lack of closet space, master bedroom/ guest bedroom coded closet. The backyard was the biggest disappointment, overgrown tree (bar-b-que) and yard, lots of mosquitoes and bugs. We were expecting what it looked like in the picture. Also nothing you can do about it but neighbors were arguing very loudly in the late/early morning hours. We feel it wasn’t worth the amount of money we paid.

Very welcoming and cute home that has been remodeled well. Backyard was a fun spot for making smores and letting kids hang out in hot tub. Plenty of space in the bedrooms. Not walking distance to anything, but 5 min drive to everything. Property managed well!
