    My family & I felt right at home here for pur annual trip to Adventureland. Daniel was very accomodating and his communication made the check-in, stay and check-out flawless. The house was clean and had all one would need for a comfortable stay. It's in a nice neighborhood with friendly neighbors.We will be back!

    The house is nice. Well decorated and very welcoming. The things that held back from a five star is: One room in basement has no heat. And there were not enough extra blankets.

    Affordable and spacious stay for our family of 4 and my 1 year old grandson. Updated interior, beds were all comfortable, clean, close to walking trail for my daily morning walk, friendly neighbors. Having two bathrooms is always a plus! Outdoor space was nice, just could have used some mowing prior to arrival. We would definitely stay here again!

    This was a wonderful location and wonderful for our event. It is definitely pet friendly with an exceptionally large backyard. We experienced minor inconveniences in that an outlet in the bathroom and a light fixture did not work in a bedroom. Additionally the fire pit in Was available but we chose not to involve him as our time together was limited the backyard did not work. The host was

    The overall condition of the property was less than adequate. There is broken lighting, the bed in the front room was basically on the ground, one can smell musty or moldy smells in parts of the house, the people who slept in the basement bedrooms all got coughs and allergy symptoms, the door locks didn't work, there wasn't enough towels and toilet paper for everyone, the fully stocked kitchen is not nearly fully stocked for cooking, not every tv had a remote, and one of the ones we did have quit working. The house just needs updating, one can tell that the work that was done was not done professionally. The home owner did tell us the people before us really tore some things up, and he did come over and remediated the towels, tp, and door lock issues immediately, but the place just needs more work. I get the idea that the owners haven't been in a job needing customer service or a hotelier business. However, the neighbor seems really nice.

    Overall, really good. Great communication with owner. Inside was decorated nicely and was clean. Patio area was very nice. They may want to hire a better groundskeeper though. Weeds gave bad impression of outside. Overall it worked nicely for us.

    This is a terrific property, and we really appreciated the service-orientation of the owner. First rate! We were 9 people - multiple families in the area for a college graduation. Loved the size of the house it’s amenities: clean and comfortable rooms, good kitchen, bbq, backyard patio and lounge area, etc. Unit is very close to some excellent dining options, but we also were able to cook effectively for our group of 9 people in the kitchen. We would highly recommend both the property and the owner!

    Very clean place. Loved the backyard. Communication was very good with owner. We came for a couple of graduation parties and this was convenient- in between both parties and close to shopping. We would stay here again
