"The house was nice! It is an older house that has been remodeled. Obviously, like with any older house, there were some small issues but Steven took care of them immediately. Don't expect anything fancy, but for the price, it was great! The game room downstairs was awesome to keep kids entertained! We would definitely stay there again."

"Overall this was a great place for a quick night away. Property managers were wonderful. They quickly responded and took care of any issues. The bathroom outlets did not work. We were able to use an outlet from the kitchen island for curling iron- just enough cord to reach. But could not use the master outlets. One bedroom had no pillow cases but the property manager quickly handled and had the cleaner bring some over- they were wadded up when she gave them to us, so I'm not sure they were...

There was coffee/hot chocolate pods provided which was nice plus since they are not always offered. The deck area with table and chairs was really nice(although the deck could have used a little tidying up)."
