Wonderful Place
5/5 We had a wonderful stay in this VRBO. Very clean! Comfortable beds and spacious. Quiet and near the town breweries and eating places. Would highly recommend staying here. The rooms are just like the pictures. ADORABLE! The owners are available if anything comes up and are quick to respond. We would stay here again!

Defiance getaway
4/5 Property is amazing. Very clean. I would caution anyone with difficulty climbing stairs to choose one of the ground floor units. Bring your own soap and shampoo for bathing. Overall a great accommodation in the heart of wine country

Rural living
2/5 The fire alarm went off for no reason at 1:30 am and earlier that day. No hot water in the shower in master bedroom the duration of stay. The sink did have hot water. Called before booking and was told there were stairs but they were not steep. But that was not true, we had a person using a walker. Part of accommodation were rustic looking and part modern. It was a nice experience.

Manager's Response:
Shared from the owner:
"Hi Donna, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are pleased to hear that you had a nice experience despite the challenges you encountered.
Steepness of Steps: I apologize for the inconvenience you experienced with the stairs. After reviewing our records, we found that there was no discussion about the steepness of the stairs during your call. In the future, please reach out directly to us if there are specific mobility concerns so we can ensure a more suitable accommodation for your needs.
Hot Water in the Master Bathroom: I regret the issue with the hot water in the shower. The system in the primary bathroom can be a bit complex, as it features both a normal spray head and a rain shower head controlled by a single handle. We will be placing clear instructions to assist future guests in using it. We're glad to hear the sink provided hot water as expected.
Fire Alarm: I understand how disruptive the fire alarm going off can be, especially at such an early hour. We have inspected the alarm system and found no ongoing issues. We apologize for the disturbance and appreciate your understanding.
We consistently receive 5-star reviews from our guests, and we value your feedback as it helps us improve our service and accommodations. Thank you again for your review."Quiet atmosphere
5/5 We would stay at The Ruebling House again. It was very clean and nice! It was a quiet neighborhood.
