Gorgeous Remodeled Farmhouse tucked in a quiet cul de sac on 1/2 acre

Don't stay here. But if you do stay here, be prepared to bring your own everything... toilet paper, hand soap, towels (provided very few towels-see pic), bedding, everything down to bring your own salt shaker. We had to go buy basic commodities that were not provided. There were 4 beds to sleep 8 people. It said the house slept 12 but it did not. No pull out couches, no extra bedding to sleep on couches. One of the beds had a broken slat and the wood bows down in the middle so you're sleeping like a taco with 2 people. We pulled the mattress on the floor to sleep. Only has 6 chairs at the dining table, with no extra folding chairs for anyone else to sit. We found 2 mangled camp chairs in the garage because we needed more seating.The kitchen faucet wasn't working, we had to clean out the grit to get it to work for us. All the toilet paper holders were broken off in the bathrooms. Dog poop in the backyard got on kids shoes/clothes.Upon arrival the trash cans were on the street, full of garbage for the first 2 days. Granted it was a holiday weekend, but host should have made arrangements for the trash. Used the washer and dryer (gas) and the fire alarms/carbon monoxide detectors went off. The fire department came and discovered the dryer hose was not connected properly, so the dryer was venting into the house. We left the house a day early. Cute house, has potential, but VERY ill-equipped to host and not 12 people! Probably the worst VRBO I've ever stayed in.

Our host was very accommodating. We were able to make our holiday together memorable… a time we will cherish.

We were quite disappointed with our stay at this rental property, especially after seeing the outdoor images online, which were very deceiving. The photos made the home appear much more spacious and well-maintained than it actually was. While the kitchen was the only part of the home that had been renovated and was clean, the rest of the house was sorely lacking in attention to detail. The furniture was old and uncomfortable, with not nearly enough seating for the number of guests the property claimed to accommodate. The yard, which we had hoped would be a nice outdoor space, was overgrown with weeds and the grass was long. The fence was broken, and both the shed and garage appeared dilapidated and neglected. We were also taken aback by the high nightly rate, which seemed unjustifiable given that the property was far from fully renovated. For the price, we expected a much higher standard of accommodation, but unfortunately, the property fell short. It was clear that the home wasn’t ready for rent and needed substantial updates before being listed to the public. We would not recommend this rental until the owner invests in the much-needed repairs and renovations.

This wasn’t a pleasant stay. We emailed the owner about not being able to find the tv remote. I called her phone and left a message. No response. . She responded. It must be there somewhere, it hasn’t been taken out of the house. She said she would see what she could do. I never heard from her again until I emailed her telling her we were leaving 2 days early. The bathroom downstairs had a broken toilet paper dispenser. The shower was moldy and dirty. The floors were dusty. Living room rug was dirty and stained. It was too hot upstairs to sleep. Pillows were old and smelly. The kitchen floor was sticky. When we finally found the remote, it was in a chair along with forks,spoons crumbs and sticky candy. The host never got back to us until we said we were leaving. Her complacency was very blatant. Beware. A 2nd rate rental.

There were no check in instructions and it took a while to hear back from the host with a code to the house. Aside from this, the property was not as depicted. The lawn and exterior were not maintained, there was glass in the sand box, it seemed like it hadn’t been fully cleaned - sheets were damp, bathrooms had hair, etc. And the description claimed it could sleep 12, but there was only space for 8 realistically.

Host did not communicate access information and did not answer phone or respond back to our requests during our entire stay. Our only access was from the back door which was not just unlocked, but wide open. There is no information at the house about rules or what to do on exit. Hot water runs constantly in the master bath tub....not just dripping but running. A nice upgrade on an older house and large backyard for children.

We were disappointed with a few maintenance and supply issues (no bedding on some of the beds, few towels & extra blankets for what the property purports to sleep), and some safety issues (some flooring would have speared one of our guests' feet if he hadn't had shoes on in the bedroom where he was staying. While the owner agreed to address these issues with us, she has not done so as of this review.

We went to see the ice castles with the family and loved being able to stay the weekend. Was perfect for the whole family. Need to come stay again sometime. Everyone loved it.Thanks for the lovely home.

Beautiful house. Great location. Great host. Would stay there again! Thank you

We stayed in this midway home for a wedding weekend. We actually held the rehearsal dinner in the backyard. Our stay was comfortable and we enjoyed hosting the rehearsal dinner there.

No communication from host until night before we checked out. The front door was unlocked to just walk in. Address was wrong, we had to memorize from last year how to get there. Upstairs bathtub was dirty. Found balloons and pictures from the 21st birthday party before us. Two out of the three bathrooms ran out of toilet paper. Dishes were still in dishwasher when we got there. Not impressed.

Review: We spent the month of July here. Pro’s: Centrally located in Midway, beautiful and picturesque tree lined streets and the house is situated in a quiet cul-de-sac. Garden is large and set up well for kids, with a playscape and trampoline in theory. House is spacious and has enough room for a large party. Suggested improvements: No A/C on the top floor, and in summer it got hot upstairs (~88F) which made it uncomfortable for guests to sleep. This should be disclosed in the listing. House needs some maintenance: door handle falling off interior garage door, garage door doesn’t close properly, bathroom sink drain is clogged. The bath faucet in the master bath leaked for a week before we finally could turn it off and it wasn’t worth doing that every day and risking wasting water so we didn’t use that bath/shower. Showered updates. Informed host and there was an element of nonchalance and “everybody just uses that bathroom don’t worry”. We got tired of reporting things “wrong with the house” so gave up complaining and lived with it. When we did discuss things that need to be improved with host at end of visit, this was met with defensiveness. Master bath also hasn't been competed - concrete in master bath under vanity. So many places in the walls that need patching up and painting. Don’t think it’s fair to describe as a “Gorgeous Remodeled Farm House”. Owner took their time to respond to queries. Yard is spacious but not well cared - trampoline has no netting.

The house is in a great location and a good size/layout but it was very dirty. The sheets on the beds on the main floor were all dirty when we arrived as well as the bathroom rugs. We also found old dried dog feces stuck to the family room rug upstairs. It didn’t seem like any of the house had been cleaned before our arrival. The bbq was filthy as well. We had to clean it before we could use it. The air conditioning didn’t work on either level. The temp downstairs was in the high 70’s and in the 80’s upstairs which made it difficult to sleep.
