5/5 Nice and clean and as described. Enjoyable restful place. Yard was loved by everyone and we felt safe letting the kids play. Will definitely book again next time we visit family.

1/5 Reading all reviews decided to stay here. Don't know how it got such great reviews? So house went down hill since? Whole house needs an upgrade. It looks run down and unkempt. Dented fridge & bathroom door, marks on kitchen floor ( tried to clean it, but it wouldn't remove), bathtub drywall both ends needs patching (hole in drywall), needs thorough cleaning (had hair in bath tub, cobwebs in closet, bathroom sink cabinet stains) and pest control (found a couple of roaches). Only had 1 coffee kcup and rest were hot chocolate kcups- a little disappointed (fortunately close to a few coffee shops). Queen bed uncomfortable (had a deep dip in middle), but king bed was a little better. There are no chest drawers in the bedrooms and one room did have a closet (but i wouldn't hang any clothes in there). There is a chest drawer in the living room where the tv is on top of. Surrounding neighborhood has a few rundown abandoned houses. I didn't contact host for anything. Just slept there, gonee most of the days and ate out. I cant recommend this place at its current state.

Manager's Response:
Hi Brian, the homeowner was surprised to read your review, as they are accustomed to providing 5-star experiences, and would like to clarify the following:
- The home, built in the early 2000s, has original finishes and is well-maintained.
- After seeing the review, we inspected the property and found no damage to drywall, doors, or flooring.
- A full box of coffee pods was stocked, and no cobwebs or stains were found.
The property is professionally cleaned and landscaped weekly; we’ve also scheduled additional pest control.
- All bedrooms have closets (shown in the listing).
- The home is in an older part of town near the square, as noted in the listing. Nearby homes are aged, not abandoned.
- We did speak during your stay to help with the door code and stove; no issues were mentioned at the time.
Thank you for your feedback.
