• Nice place, some hiccups

  3/5

  We enjoyed the property, good size, seems well cared for. We did have some problems with check in, as well as some confusion with the property. There was unfortunately an error in the cleaners schedule and when we arrived 2 hours after check in time, the property wasn't cleaned from previous guests. The property contact was able to get cleaners to come while we ate, but did not apologize for inconvenience or really communicate much. The cleaners apologized, but I think because they were rushed, things weren't cleaned as thourough. In addition, the pictures of the property show the entire house, but do not specify that the property we stayed in was actually a basement apartment and accessed by stairs on the outside. Not sure if guests upstairs or owners, but lots of walking noise above. Overall, we were pleased with the property, but could have been better with those adjustments.

• Beautiful and clean home, amenities a little lacking

  4/5

  Overall, our stay in this home was great. We have no major complaints and would consider staying here again, but did want to point out some things that weren't quite what we had anticipated.

  Pros

  The space is very clean, the beds are quite comfortable, parking is provided in the driveway which makes access very easy and convienent and there are plenty of extra pillows, sheets, towels, etc. so the entire family (2 adults and 2 teens) had what we needed for the stay. There is a hair dryer provided and shampoo and conditioner (2 very small bottles), and a bar of soap. No additional toiletries were there for our use.

  Cons

  The kitchen could use some additional tools. A big reason we stay in VRBO's instead of hotels is so we can cook our own meals and we ran into some obstacles. There are no knives provided, except steak knives, which could use some sharpening. There also is not a cutting board provided. We had to use steak knives to cut/prep our food on a cookie sheet so we didn't damage the counters or tables. (Might be why the steak knives need to be sharpened.)

  The trash can in the kitchen is small. I would call it bathroom size. Had to take the trash out quite often, which is not an issue, except no additional trash bags were provided. We had to use grocery bags, which were too small for the can provided, and messy. There is no garbage disposal so all unfinished food had to go in the trash. Again, not an issue, but we didn't have bags that fit the can so it was more difficult than it needed to be.

  Refrigerator is small. Not an issue for us, as our stay was only a few nights, but if you were staying longer, it might be a problem.

  There is a washer and dryer, but no detergent provided. Honestly, not a major problem and we just bought what we needed, but the welcome book says it will be provided.

  There was only one extra roll of toilet paper provided. For a family of 4 for 5 days, this wasn't enough so we ended up having to buy some. Also, they provided only 1 bar of soap that had to serve as hand soap and for the shower. Would be nice if there was an extra.

  Lastly, the listing says it will sleep 6, but I think 5 is more realistic. The sofa lays down into essentially a twin size bed. Would be hard to sleep 2 people on it unless they are small children.

  As I said, overall we had a great time and loved this place. But if you are looking for extra amenities, this may not be the best place for you.

• Cozy basement apartment

  4/5

  Overall we enjoyed our stay and will consider returning. Pros - clean, new property, well maintained, good communication. Cons - higher fees than I’m used to (insurance fees?), and being in the basement with loud guests or children upstairs was disturbing at times.
