Reviews
As advertised
3/5 Everything was as listed.

Convenient and well updated
4/5 The rental is one unit of a duplex in a historic home. The apartment has been nicely updated with new kitchen, central air, etc. The layout is perfect for families. It was easy to get into town and down to Millcreek for activities, and only 10 minutes from Presque Isle.
The downsides are that the neighborhood isn't great, the building shows its age and could use some attention, and the outdoor space is overgrown and not really useable.
Plus sides: The beds are comfortable. The master bedroom is a great size, with a separate sun room perfect for kids. The shower has terrific water pressure.

Little family get away
4/5 Cute historic house. Everything was provided. Only thing that bothered us is shower liner needs replaced, a good amount of mold on it.

Needs work
3/5 The house was sufficiently clean so we did stay. The high use surfaces were wiped clean and we didn’t see any cobwebs as the previous visitors did. The outside of the building and the landscaping needs much improvement. Right outside the back door the area stays wet leading to swarms of mosquitoes.

Manager's Response:
Hi Karen, we appreciate you sharing your experience, and after reviewing your feedback with the homeowner, they’d like to share the following:
-We're glad to hear you found the house clean and comfortable during your stay.
-The landscaping has since been updated, though unfortunately, we were unable to complete this during your visit.
-Unfortunately, mosquitoes can be prevalent during the season, especially near damp areas. We recommend using repellent and keeping doors closed to minimize their presence indoors.
Thanks for your valuable feedback as we continue to improve for future guests!Uncleanliness and Unkept
2/5 We planned to stay a total of 3 nights and unfortunately due to uncleanliness and the place being unkept we left within an hour of arriving and drove back home. There was bugs and cobwebs in all corners of the house. Dirt on the stairs and paint chippings on a lot of the baseboards. My husband and i did not feel comfortable having our 15 month old walking around and or sleeping at this place. I will say the host was very nice and accommodating leading up to our stay , we had no issues there. This house was just not cleaned to our standards that made us feel okay staying there.
