    My friend and our two 13-year olds needed a place with enough beds (this was perfect - the boys got the two twin beds), within walking distance of downtown (about 2 miles) and somewhere safe so the boys could wander around without us. They really enjoyed being independent. We also enjoyed the hot tub. The house was very clean, very comfortable and nicely decorated. Communicating with the host was super easy, they were very quick to reply and give suggestions. Nothing about this visit would we change.

    I’ll start by saying the property owners were lovely. However once checked in, the house was not as pictured. The backyard was a mess with no fencing on one side do to the neighbor rebuilding. The hot tub was dirty and cold. Trash and old appliances scattered throughout. Dog waste from other dogs. The listing said sleeps 8 but 6 was the max for much was fine for our family. The queen bed is a full be

    I messaged them ahead of time to confirm the hot tub would be ready for us and it took at least 13 hours, overnight for it to be usable

    serious lack of human compassion the host waited til last min to cancel reservation which left a family displaced by the park fire with nowhere to go . they drove over an hour only to find that there reservation had been cancelled . it was an extreme hardship to them as they had to find last minute reservations after driving so long with kids animals two cars so stressful then the owner tried to say the shower didn't works very sketchy . this was a nightmare the owner was not a bit sympathetic to the fact that this family had just been displaced by the fire and had nowhere to go were tired and just wanted to get out of the car and try to figure out what to do next .. not ok ..

    This was a great place, super clean and cute. Hosts were super responsive. They only thing I would say is that it really only sleeps 6 in beds, unless you plan on bringing an air mattress for the game room. There was a futon mattress but on the floor. Not very comfortable for adults.

    The house has a nice refreshing relaxing concept, however. The fridge was broken. We put ice in freezer and it melted. Food in fridge was warm had to throw away. No hot water in shower. Called to inform owner he stated he would get some one to look at it, that never happened. Had to take cold shower. Dirty sheets. Over treated hot tub with clorine my hair still smells from. And skin burned from. It lau drey left in washer and dryer. Text owner that i was wanting a refund. Havent heard back yet.

    It was great to get away & to include our dogs. We were never able to get the internet to work & our contact's response was to use our phones. The microwave didn't work and the fry pans and utensils need replacing. Check in was only given 10 minutes before the start time & we had problems getting to the VRBO site for info using our phones. Finally used 2 phones at once to get to the site for the landlords instructions. Luckily the house was unlocked when we arrived. The bedroom next to the bathroom was near a busy street so it was quite noisy at night. Great central location.
