Pool Oasis w/ KING Bed & Firepit

Perfect place for wedding party to stay for a wedding weekend! Great location and had everything we needed!!

We enjoyed the property. A little moreMaintenance on a few things could help improve your property for future guests.

The listing advertises a pool oasis with firepit. The pool wasn't functioning, which is fine because it was April, but I doubt it will be swimable come summer so hopefully the listing changes. The gates around the back yard were all broken and open or wouldn't latch so it's not ideal for pets. The yard was overgrown and the play set was a little sketchy for my 2 year old to be playing on (had parts broken on the slide). Back patio furniture was not as pictured or kept up with. Swim toys and cushions were all over the place and dirty. The listing said the couches had pull out beds, but they did not. We did find air mattresses in the closet so that worked for the kids, but not for my 86 year old grandmother. Garage door is not operable. I wasn't given check in instructions so I had to call the host who verbally gave me the code over the phone and said he sent me check in instructions but I never received them. I had to message him regarding check out instructions. Inside the house was clean and comfortable. Plenty of linens and dishes.

Upon arrival, there were dirty sheets from a previous stay, beds not made, dust and dirt everywhere. We did talk to the host, who apologized and said he would call his cleaning lady. He suggested we stay somewhere else, but there were no hotels available in Cabot. His cleaning lady was there was from 7:30- 9pm and only cleaned the bathrooms and made the bed (with the sheets WE washed on our own). At 9 she said she needed to leave and she would come back in the morning to finish the job. We got home from around 12 and nothing else had been cleaned. We asked for the first night to be refunded and he refused. After several negative back and forth conversations, we ended up getting VRBO involved. To top it all off, we left my daughter’s brand new Comfrt sweatshirt in the laundry room. I immediately messaged him and said he would mail it back. Weeks later, he said it was never found. I typically don’t leave such harsh reviews, but, I don’t have anything nice to say. The host lives in a different state and has clearly not seen his property in some time. The pictures someone else posted on here were truly accurate as far as the grounds look and are probably worse now. I wouldn’t waste my time if you are truly seeking a “pet friendly, pool oasis” or whatever is posted. The pool liner is peeling, the water is green and unusable, the yard hasn’t been mowed in years. The fence is not even standing in certain spots and holes in other areas of the fence. Completely inaccurate description.

Although we originally booked this home because it was pet friendly, we opted not to bring our little maltipoo. The home was spacious and comfortable; the sheets were soft, the beds and pillows nice. However, there was no WiFi for the entire time of our stay, and the fireplace did not work, which took away the ambiance of a cozy Christmas getaway. The left sink in the master bath had no cold water, although the right side sink was fine. Several lights in the master vanity were out. All the appliances in the kitchen worked fine, but the ice maker and water dispenser in the refrigerator did not work, so we had to buy ice. The dishwasher and washing machine were also very loud. The backyard was a mess. There were leaves in the pool, and most concerning was that there was no safety rail around the pool. We are aware that there are different standards for different locations, but we would not have brought a toddler to this home during warmer weather for fear of an accidental drowning. The firepit outside worked fine, but we needed to wipe down the furniture (luckily we had brought some cleaning wipes, because there were no spray cleansers in the house, although there was plenty of dish soap and dishwasher detergent, as well as laundry detergent.) We also had no check-out instructions, so we stripped the beds, took out the trash, wiped down as much as we could in the kitchen, started the dishwasher, and put all the towels and sheets in the laundry room.

We had a fabulous time at this house. The house was great, plenty of towels. , shampoo, TP, etc. We did get delayed checking in for about 45 min and had to message/call a few times. Luckily we had family close so just went to there house til we heard back. We also didn’t get the WiFi info. It’s really helpful when the WiFi info and clean up requirements are on a laminated paper on the refrigerator. We also couldn’t use either fire pit. One was overgrown and the other we couldn’t figure out. We didn’t know the pool maintenance is on Tuesday so a random man was back there which freaked me out initially. Also says it’s dog friendly but there is no latch on the gate or a back fence. Labels on lights are helpful too. We’re also not used to the wolf spiders, yikes! There were some wasp nest outside too, so maybe some pest control. All quick/easy fixes. We’re thinking about renting it next year too!

The inside of the house was as the photos indicated but the outside was a huge disappointment. The front porch was dirty and the rugs were piled in a corner. There were many large spider webs right as you walk up to the porch. The front grass had been mowed but the back yard had high weeds and the pool was dirty. The property advertised pets were ok but the back yard was not completely fenced. We could find only two bath wash cloths and 3 towels in the entire house. There was no dishwashing cloths or drying towels in the kitchen. Also, there were basically no pots/pans to cook with. I did call and speak with the owner about these issues … he sent someone out to mow the grass and clean the pool. He asked what I thought would be a fair refund for these issues and I requested he talk it over with the other owner of the property and let me what they felt was fair. I never heard back from him. I believe it was on our 2nd day at the property my dog alerted me that someone was in the yard. I looked in the driveway and say a car there and when I looked in the back yard there was an unknown man using the hose giving his dog a bath! The umbrella on the back porch had fallen over on the patio furniture and just left that way so the patio couches could not be used. My husband and I tried to lift it but we are both in our 70’s and it was just too heavy. The owner was made aware of this also but no attempt was made to correct it. I am attaching several photos but can send more.

This house was just as listed. The home was very clean and the beds were comfortable. The neighborhood was quiet and safe.

Booked this property based upon the pictures of the pool and the outside. Would have been nice to know that the pool was not functional for the trip. (Please let guests know when pool season is in Arkansas.) Would have been good if the outside furniture was clean and we could have enjoyed that also. Overall, it is a nice property.

The house is very nice. The front entrance was a little unkept. Many spider webs that have obviously been there a while. The home itself was beautiful, however the fireplace and jetted tub were inoperable. One of the reasons we chose this house was for those amenities. The backyard was great!!! We enjoyed using the fire pit and sitting around visiting and joking with each other. Overall, it was a great experience. The minor things I have noted are just for future reference.

Grandkids had fun in the pool. Very clean. Needed more than 4 washcloths for 2 nights tho…
