Very clean and well stocked. Quiet and peaceful. Loved front porch. Quick response from owners. Comfortable place to make memories.
The home is very comfortable and extremely well stocked with anything you may need. The large screen TV was nice to watch college baseball on. The grill and fire pit was perfect for grilling our steaks. This home is a great place to stay if you are visiting Melvern.
Owners were probably the best we've ever experienced. The thought put into the accomodations is incredible. Communication was quick and effective. This old farmhouse was clean and comfortable. Our family of four are grateful to the host family.
Just a great place with great hosts. Exactly as described.
Property was exactly as advertised, clean, and very convenient for the work I was doing in the area. Dian was very friendly and easy to communicate with. Had a great stay.
The Home Place is exactly as advertised! The home and property well well cared for, clean and very well stocked! Communication before, during and after our stay was great. After one question, which was answered promptly, we found the home easily. The home truly has everything you would need in the kitchen including an east to find extension cord, which we needed for my husband’s CPAP device. We really appreciated having a comfortable home and bed for our weekend at the lake with friends.
It was a cozy place to stay room For the kids to run. Away from the hustle of town but close enough to easily go do things for the day.
This was a very easy rental and contact with host Dian was easiest i have experienced on VRBO.
