Members of our family came from out of town to visit with family that live in Lincoln. This was a great location for us to gather. It was easily accessible to the activities that we wanted to do. There was plenty of room for us. The kitchen and supplies were wonderful. Everything was very clean and well kept

Liked: Check-in
Disliked: Cleanliness, location
House is more run down than pictured. When we arrived it was a bit dirty. Some bugs in the ground, a sticky brown substance on the floor. The floors didn’t appear to have been cleaned. We could have managed that, but as we gathered in the living room a MOUSE ran across the floor. This was immediately addressed with the property manager. We spoke on the phone and he confirmed he was going to have pest control come over in the morning. He offered to reimburse us for the first night via phone as we left for a hotel. Then the next morning I received a message that they would compensate us 100 dollars for our inconvenience. They mentioned the pest control was over but did not mention if the mouse was found. I told them we were uncomfortable staying in a house with a mouse in it. I asked three times if the mouse was found, and still have not heard. We didn’t return. Ultimately we were refunded the cost of one night - we paid for: two nights, the cleaning fee (remember to NOT stay in a house that was dirty to begin with), the entire service fee and all taxes. While the host promptly responded, the responses failed to answer our most important question - IS THE MOUSE GONE. This is my first negative review left on VRBO with over 20 trips. Sadly would not recommend.

Response from VrboOwner on 23 October 2025
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your recent stay. We are very sorry for the issues you experienced, as they don’t reflect the standards we work to maintain for guests.
The house was treated for routine pest control two days prior to the reservation, resulting in the presence of dead bugs. We offered to send an additional cleaning in order to make it right, but sadly the offer was not taken up.
Additional measures were also promptly implemented as mentioned in the review to respond to the report of a mouse sighting. Both indoor and outdoor measures were put in place to ensure the home continues to be routinely treated to the highest standards.
We have added a winter advisory note to all our guests moving forward. As the temperatures start to drop in Lincoln, we recommend that doors and windows are kept closed when not in use to help keep the house comfortable and pest-free.
We’ve also spoken with the cleaning team to address your comments and ensure that the home is detailed to a higher standard moving forward. Your notes have been really helpful in strengthening our processes.
Thank you again for sharing your experience.
