Bright & Modern Lincoln Home: 1 Mi to Holmes Lake!

Reviews

• nice house close to Holmes park

  4/5

  Great location within walking distance of Holmes Park. The house was newly redone with 3 bedrooms on the 2nd floor (one with an ensuite bathroom) and a 2nd full bath in the hall. There was a 3rd full bath in the basement. It had a nice private back yard. The beds were reasonably comfortable and the towels were nice and plush.

• Dissapointed. Clearly a quick flip short term rental

  2/5

  Communication before arriving was positive and timely and they were great about our request to arrive an hour and a half ahead of our 4 pm check in. unfortunately the house was a disappointment for the price. First off, there is not one blind or window treatment in any of the bedrooms bathrooms or anywhere in the house for that matter. This is unacceptable for a rental, not only for security and peace of mind but also for privacy and sleeping comfort. Bright sun shines directly into your eyes at the crack of front side of the home and the upstairs rooms heat up quickly during the day because of this as well. The furniture is as minimal as it gets, there is no where to gather with space for more than 3 people. The little they do have is cheap and very uncomfortable. The beds are new but the mattresses are very thin, more like a cot mattress and slide around on the bed frame. The deck furniture has no cushions. The hot water does not work in the master bedroom. Basement shower was not at all clean. So we were down to one shower out of 3. The house is extremely over lit with 35 ceiling can lights in the main living area with no dimmers it is so bright it feels like you are in an interrogation room. We resorted to having the lights on in adjacent room and off in room we were in so it wasn’t so overpowering. Bottom line with cost of rental and all the fees save yourself the trouble and choose a hotel for your visit you will be much more comfortable.

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Catherine, we take guest feedback seriously and passed your comments on to the homeowner who would like to clarify the following:
  - Since your checkout, we installed blinds in the bedrooms to enhance privacy and comfort. However, the listing does accurately reflect that other areas of the home don't have window coverings, allowing guests to enjoy the natural light and views.
  - All interior furniture and deck furniture, is displayed clearly in the professional listing photos so guests can decide if it meets their needs before booking.
  - Mattress comfort is subjective, but we're sorry to hear the mattresses didn’t meet your preferences. The beds are new, and we will monitor feedback to ensure guest satisfaction.
  - The hot water in the primary bedroom and throughout the home has been tested and confirmed to be working correctly.
  - Our cleaners consistently do a meticulous job preparing the home for all guests. The basement shower was cleaned before your arrival and in immaculate condition.
  - The lighting in the home is designed to be ample and versatile, with multiple switches allowing guests to adjust it to their liking. The listing photos, including the first ones displayed, show the lighting setup, ensuring guests are fully aware of what to expect.
  The homeowner works hard to provide a wonderful guest experience and we look forward to this property hosting many satisfied visitors.
