Cozy Blackstone Getaway < 2 Mi to Downtown!

Reviews

• Okay for the price

  3/5

  Property itself was okay. Overall the property appeared clean, however there were dark smudges around doors and light switches along with sticky remote controls for TV's indicating prior cleaning was rushed or not much attention was being paid to things. Trains run constantly about 80 yards from the house, this was not noted anywhere, nor did I see any reviews that mentioned it. Absolutely not the property or hosts fault but there was some sort of domestic dispute at the neighboring house that went on from 10pm to around 11pm.

  Manager's Response:

  Hi Steven, we take guest feedback seriously and passed your comments on to the homeowner, who would like to share the following:
  – The home is thoroughly cleaned before each stay, but we’ve requested a deep clean to catch any overlooked details. We clean the remotes regularly, but one had a broken battery cover that was taped to keep it functional, which could've caused the “sticky” feeling. We’re replacing the remote covers to take care of this.
  – While train activity and neighborhood incidents are beyond our control, we’ve updated the listing to mention the nearby tracks. The map on our listing also shows their location, so guests know what to expect.
  Thank you for sharing your experience. Your input helps us continue improving for future visitors.

• Used for work

  5/5

  The guys I work with booked this house to get out of the normal hotel stay. The house has two bedrooms and a pullout couch April to accommodate all of our people. The bathroom is a jack and Jill and very convenient for getting up in the middle of the night. The train was loud at night, but I grew up in Indiana home of the train tracks. I’m used to it. The refrigerator door does open loudly so if you’re trying to be quiet at night, it’s a dead giveaway when someone’s in the fridge that everything we needed to do we mostly work during the day and slept. I did have an issue getting in but the owner was very helpful and prompt with getting back to me For the price this is a steal

• Family get away.

  5/5

  When my son and I arrived at the house it was very clean and easy to check in. We enjoyed the location of the property it was close to all the local amenities. We will definitely be back.

  5/5

  This home was pefect. Traveled from Florida to attend a wedding. Had family traveling from TX and Al, was able to host a breakfast for family members not attending early morning wedding events. And everyone loved the cottage feel. 5 stars for sure.

  The property is just yards from the railroad. Loud freight trains going all night. When we were leaving we accidentally lost a debit card. The owner did contact us and asked if we had lost it and we asked if they can mail it to us. He said sure but then he texted back and said that cleaner threw it away. That is just not ok and I hope people keep this in mind when they are booking their stay there. You can’t call this a five star stay if you’re going to be just throwing people’s property away.
