Overall this place was good for a quick overnight, beds were comfortable, our basic needs were met. However the floors were really dirty. One of the kids crawled on the floor for a few minutes and their hands and top of feet were black. All adults wore shoes due to how dirty their feet got walking in the house. The arcade games were a lot of fun. Overall a good place if the place was more clean.
We didn’t even spend the night. We went and got a hotel down the road. The house was nice and clean but smelled of pet urine. The part that really set me off is while starting to unload the car one of the neighbors began to stare us down and started using racial slurs toward us. We did not say one word. The neighborhood and neighbors houses are a bit sketchy.
The house was nice enough and the minimalism was appreciated but, the furniture is in dire need of cleaning and the house itself could have used a bit more cleaning and maintenance attention. This was not even remotely my concern at the time, as we were traveling all day and needed somewhere comfortable to rest our heads. That seemed like no problem until we laid down in bed and realized we were directly behind a bar that didn't close until 2:00 a.m. . You will definitely need a sound machine to stay here! Thankfully, my kids sleep with one anyway and we just left the bedroom door open to be able to hear theirs. The bed being positioned against the window still made the noise from the bar incredibly loud. I can't fault the owners for this noise at all, as they have no control over the bar or the sound coming from it but, better positioning of the bedroom may have helped, as well as insulating that window. The property is absolutely adorable and, given more time and warmer weather, we would have loved to hang out in the backyard and on the back porch. The kitchen was well stocked with necessary dishes for a quick meal and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the arcade machines. The bathroom was also well stocked with towels and washcloths without us having to go looking for them. As the person responsible for packing and unpacking our van, I really really appreciate the longer driveway, which extended to the back porch entrance.
Just off main drag so convenient yet still quiet...just needed an overnight with Grandkids after long day at Cedar Point...hence- video games a hit...would not recommend for your basketball squad as 2nd story ceiling a little low..worked for us!
Good place! The property was as described in the listing. Pros: Lots of space, good amenities, grill, private backyard, driveway parking, secure space, comfortable, family friendly, close to stores and food. Cons: Could have been a bit cleaner, it was a bit dusty and had cobwebs around. Overall: We enjoyed our stay and would stay again. Had everything we needed.
It was really nice pretty good location! Could have been cleaned better but overall nice experience ?
Needed a spot halfway between Minneapolis and Boston and this place was great. A/C was great and master bed was extremely comfortable and im picky.
Everything from start to finish worked out swimmingly!!! Great Host....very accommodating, timely etc....Steve worked well with my Mother n law in making sure she had a roof over her head while she waited to be able to get in to her new home!!
Just needed a place to sleep. Bed was clean and comfortable. My husband did enjoy the arcade games! And The Freight House has awesome food just a minute away..best cheese curds ever!!!!
This was our second stay here and it’s the perfect place for us while visiting family. Easy check in process and the owner is so helpful. Added bonus….We all love the video games! The kids were excited for our second stay because they remembered the house with the games:) This will be our home away from home visiting family from now on.
This place worked well to see my nephew’s senior game at Heidelberg University. Great location to walk to restaurants.
We stayed at the rental for two nights for the big annual Pontiac car show. We were at the track all day long and came back to sleep. Had a nice full kitchen but didn't utilize much of the amenities except the beds, which were very comfy! Great value for our weekend.
Overall our stay was very nice , interior of the house is very comfortable and accurate description! We enjoyed the backyard and fire pit .. will definitely will book this property again .
Would stay again when we in the area again
The house was beautiful and had the most comfortable beds. We were not at the house much to cook or anything, but it did have everything we needed. My only complaint was having 1 bathroom, but we knew that when we booked and we made it work. I highly recommend!
Owner was quick to respond to any questions we had. House was perfect for what we needed.
When we arrived to the property the neighborhood was very rough and unsafe looking and the outside of the home was in disrepair and in need of major work. When we opened the door to the house we were greeted with a musty wet smell, the house was a home flip gone bad. The cabinets were filthy, the floors were so dirty we had to keep our shoes on and there was chips on the floor from the previous renter. The furniture was stained and the walls were so dirty (clearly this house is not being cleaned properly or maintained) When we went into the downstair room there was a large (almost the size of the bed) water stain with black colored mold on the ceiling. The beds were all very uncomfortable and we truly did not feel safe staying in this home. I contacted VRBO many times as well as the property manager with nothing to be done. Our second day there someone shows up in the yard walking around the property and scared us half to death. The guy went to the shed and started cutting the grass during our vacation!!!!! Never were we contacted that someone would be coming to the property. For the money we spent for 4 night I expect to have the property to myself. I did not feel safe leaving my dogs or belongings in the home after this because who knows who is coming into the home while we are away. The final straw was a loud party next door until 3am with bass and loud talking while my toddlers are trying to sleep. We packed up and were gone by 7am. The property host refused to refund any money for the dirty home and inaccurate description of the home or leaving early due to horrible conditions of the stay. We tried finding other places in the area that would take dogs so we could stay and finish our vacation, but unfortunately we couldn't find anywhere. I would not recommend staying in this home. I have rented so much nicer and gotten a lot more for a lot less money. The property host was horrible to deal with and ignored messages and was unwilling to resolve issues.
This was an amazing place to stay
