The house had spider webs in the doors and in the bathrooms,the steps going to the master bedroom are super steep, needs to be added to the website especially where people are handicapped as my husband is, needs to say it’s by the airport, needs to say his brother stays in the shop the whole time, bathrooms were dirty. Workout room is really cold, where it’s in a separate room right by the back door. Steve was super nice and really tried, just a lot of hidden things and was very dirty. I went and bought all new towels and Tupperware. There are no washer and dryer accommodations and the linen was not good. Trash cans were almost full when we got there so didn’t have anywhere to put our trash and it was Thanksgiving

We didn’t use any of the outdoor features due to cold weather, but they looked inviting. Kitchen was furnished well. Popcorn popper was a fun amenity. Two queen beds and king bed were comfortable as were the cushy recliners in the living room. Futons, not so much. Nice big kitchen table. We were in town for a funeral and the location was perfect as it is close to the airport and hotels where other relatives were staying. It was a nice place for family members to come and visit. I would suggest to the owner to trim the branch that hangs low above the driveway and label the light switches.

Cob webs all over the house with spiders. Mice in the home. Hot tub temp said 101 degrees and it wasn't even close to 90. Chemicals were off due to the smell. Blackstone grill was rusted over and unusable along with the other 2 grills. Propane was empty on the outdoor fire pit, thus unusable.

Host was very nice, and prompt. There were some disappointments with the property. We really wanted to use the hibachi grill but it was rusted out. There was also a man who came and went to a building out back by playground and hot tub. Made my kids not want to be outdoors by themselves. Some of the pans need to be replaced and the sheets have stains. Its hopefully a work in progress as it has potential.

It was a little dirty, but not the worst we ever stayed at. Puzzle pieces were missing and not in the correct boxes. Other than that was a very nice place. The host checked in frequently to make sure everything was okay.

The property was accurate to the listing. We generally always select properties with either a hot tub or pool. We were unable to utilize the hot tub during our stay, due to it's smell, which was highly disappointing.

This was such a great place for my friends and me to stay. We needed a nice comfortable place where we could spend an evening catching up and enjoying each other's company and this house was perfect for that. Everything was nice and clean and the hosts have gone above and beyond with the amenities they provided. We would definitely stay here again!

Stayed here with a handful of my buddies for the weekend of a wedding and the space was perfect! Being so close to the airport definitely saved us a ton of trouble. Plenty of room to hang out with more friends who were in town and the host was very accommodating of that!!

Wedding visitors

The description for the upstairs bedroom says there are 2 king beds and 2 futons. The Keurig coffee maker did not work as it needs descaling and its dirty. The throw blankets need to be washed and the furniture had alot of dust. There was only a few rolls of toilet paper. The property has so much potential but it needs better cleaning. We like the parts that were redone-very nice. The house smells musty. The outdoor area is fabulous and hot tub too! I would consider renting again but it does need cleaning.

I wish i knew about the person coming and going thats living in the garage, that was a little scary for me. Hot tub was great, master bedroom upstairs has lots of room. Living room was very large.
