Small but nice
4/5 The apartment is just the right size for my family when we are visiting Tioga. The owner is nice and quick to respond to questions or concerns.

Directions signage
3/5 It was not easy finding the house up on a hill. The sign was duct tape to a tree. Once we got in the apartment it had a smell luckly I had Lysol. Who ever clean need to do a better job. Dusting, vacuum the floors getting the corners and dead flys and bugs.Wipe the window ledges too. Beside all of that my husband and I was alone.

Hi June, the right vacation home is everything, and we're disappointed if this wasn't the one for you. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
- Regarding the signage issue, we do have a 2-foot round sign at the driveway entrance with solar lights that have been in place for over three months. Additionally, we have taken measures to ensure clear guidance, including reflectors, street signs, and house numbers, to make locating the property as easy as possible.
- We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the flies during your stay. The pest control company addressed this issue the day before your check-in, and our cleaning crew promptly swept up any remaining flies that same evening. The fly issue has been resolved.
- We always provide our guests with our contact information, encouraging them to reach out if they have any questions or concerns during their stay. This allows us to provide immediate assistance and ensure our guests have a comfortable and enjoyable experience.
We genuinely appreciate your review and hope that you might consider staying with us again in the future.Small but nice

From the owner: "Thank you. When you alerted me about the bees, I was able to get a quick response from Ehrlich and they handled it perfectly. This is a great example of contacting me whenever there is a question about anything."
2/5 Although the unit was generally clean, when there are dead flies (30-40 inside entrance, 10-15 on kitchen floor, various smaller amounts around windows) you don't get a feeling of clean. The available tv stations cut out quite often which made watching it annoying. The deck area was not clean so I spent zero time on it.

Hi Ray, thank you so much for letting us know about your stay. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they would like to share the following: "The presence of flies is a recurring annual occurrence in this region, despite our ongoing pest control efforts. However, the issue regarding HD digital TV reception has not been a previous concern and will be thoroughly examined. Additionally, we would like to inform you that a light pressure washing of the deck is scheduled for the spring reopening. Thank you for your valuable feedback which we do take to heart. We do everything we can to ensure that all guests have exceptional experiences!"
Family visit
5/5 Location perfect. Very clean. It had everything we could have possible need. Beautiful view. The only draw back was the stairway. And I did not ask about stairs. Only assumed no stairs from the pictures. My handicapped brother was with me along with my spouse who has bad knees and hips. Otherwise, perfect.

From the owner: ''We're glad you enjoyed the apartment and the view. We list this as being on the second floor, and I hope it wasn't too difficult. We have two appointments to choose from on the first floor. The ramp to the desk is helpful. Maybe they weren't available when you booked. All the best.''
