• Family Retreat for a Wedding

  5/5

  There were 11 of us staying in this home for three nights for a wedding at a nearby location. We enjoyed the secluded location where we close to stores, but no close neighbors. The space worked very well for us. We enjoyed everyone having their own bedrooms with VERY comfortable beds. We also enjoyed the game room that we could shut off from the living room.

  From the owner: "Thank you, Jeanette! We are so happy the home was a perfect fit for your family’s wedding retreat. It is great to hear everyone enjoyed their own space, the cozy beds, and the privacy of the location. We would love to host you all again anytime!"

• Somewhat satisfied, but could do better!

  4/5

  When we arrived, the property did not look at all as nice as advertised. The hot tub was dirty and almost empty and there was frog in it. One of the showers water temperature adjuster was broken. The refrigerator filter needed to be changed, and hot water come out of the dispenser. We also rented the Tiny House next to the big house. Arriving the Tiny house was hot like a sauna!! The air conditioner took a full day to cool the place down and the ceiling fan was broken. Same weeks before our arrival, Zakkiyah the host was hard to reach, and response time was extremely slow. We received a text from him minutes before our arrival with house rules that would have been helpful to know before we left our own homes for better preparation. Information from him, information on Vrbo and information in the guest book does not match up. It is confusing. Once there we reached out to Zakkiyah to let him know about the above-mentioned issues, his response was very prompt. And the next morning a nice man come out to help us to fix our problems. He could not fix the shower or the refrigerators filter. But cleaned and filled the hot tub. And brought a standing fan for the Tiny House. We were very satisfied with both of these people helping to make our stay comfortable.Last but NOT LEASE....we keep running out of Hot water Showers before the evening showers are done. And it is still cold in the mornings.

• Underwhelming

  2/5

  Overall underwhelming.The place is poorly laid out for a a large group. Only way to get to the outside is through one of the bedrooms. Walls are paper thin so plan on hearing everyone in every room. One bedroom has a private bath. Three beds share another bath. Then the remaining beds are stuck with one tiny bathroom. Water pressure is non-existent if more than one shower is running. Basically nothing can be flushed down a toilet and the sink is unusable for anything other than water. Dead roaches upon arrival in the kitchen. Was told that it was sprayed and pests get into the property and die. Ok...how about the corpses get cleaned up before the guests who paid money show up? Emailed and asked if rental included guest house RV and was told yes. When we checked in, we were told it was a "miscommunication" and we didn't get to use it (so one less bathroom). Booking company didn't respond to my query about it and the person who did respond sent the owners "apologies" for the miscommunication. But that didn't solve anything. Just meant we didn't get the extra space we were told we had. Road to house is pot holed. It is not that easy to get to and you have to go through residential neighborhoods to get there. It wasn't terrible and beds were fairly comfortable. The temperature was acceptable once we complained and were told how to reset the thermostat so it didn't stay hot, but a lot of underwhelming details and an underwhelming stay for my group.

  Hi Dane, the homeowners were disappointed to read your review, as they are accustomed to providing 5-star experiences, and would like to clarify the following:
  - We're on a regular pest control plan, but we’re sorry you arrived to find dead roaches in the kitchen. We’ve reminded the cleaning team to make sure any pests are fully cleaned up before guests arrive
  - We understand the home’s layout and plumbing setup didn’t meet your group’s needs. We’re reassessing both to see what can be improved for future guests, especially for larger parties
  - The road and driveway conditions are being looked at more closely, and we’re reviewing the listing details to help guests better understand what to expect before arrival
  Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

• Strawberry lane-plant city

  4/5

  Beautiful property as advertised. Good communication with property management. Unfortunately pool was not clean and working properly. Notified mgmt team but was not fixed until 4th day of our stay out of 5. My 13 yr old was very disappointed. I’d recommend making sure advertised amenities such as pool/ hot tub are operating properly and cleaned ready to use. Otherwise, it was a wonderful venue. Peaceful, beautiful sunsets,private, everything is provided that you would need for a vacation stay.
