Everything was as advertised! The house was extremely clean with sparkling white quartz countertops in the kitchen! It was welcoming for our pups. Also close to restaurants and a fancy Dollar General. Owner was a pleasure to deal with for check in and check out.

Great location as mentioned in ad and I felt safe. Could take more pride in some of the cleaning details. I had to clean the floor to walk around barefooted. Return vent and filter is really dirty. Mold in bathroom and kitchen. I left messages for the host and I never heard back from her via text and on listing website. It is what it is and as an adult I took care of my issue.
