Property needs work
First the place was clean but dusty, hadn’t been stayed in for awhile. Bed was comfy and clean. The bad things were maintenance. Towel rack and toilet paper holders falling off the wall. Bathroom door knob falling off.. shower curtain had mold on the bottom. The biggest problem was no maintenance on the furnace/AC. It didn’t work when we needed it the last two days. That was the straw that broke the camels back. They offered to come and fix it, but we were not going to allow or wait around for someone to come to look and maybe fix. That to me is a maintenance issue big time and Kevin seemed surprised. All in all a beautiful location and very nice lady down stairs.

Disappointed
We loved the location, and the fact there no properties on either side so it was quiet and gorgeous outside at night! We did find the place cozy & quaint, a bit out dated, But filthy in areas. Huge long cracks in the tile in the bedroom, and cracks by the front doors too. The kitchen baseboards were disgusting dirty with food etc. so gross. Bathroom baseboards were dirty also. Refrigerator door on the outside was filthy, maybe some rust but who could tell. I noticed a glass end table which we did not use was filthy with dust and ring marks all over it from previous cups? Maybe it’s a issue with the cleaners. It’s tiny but cozy and should not take much to clean properly at all. Because of the uncleanliness, We will not come back.

Good location. Good customer service over the phone. There needs to be some detail work completed to make the property a little more comfortable, but overall was good.

Perfect place to stay for us. Very comfortable and exactly what they said it would be.
A little small but we don't need a lot of room. Everything worked perfectly and we were quite comfortable.
