Disliked: Cleanliness
Steer Clear.
Door code invalid as relayed. Check in time not honored. Upon entry thermostat read 41degrees on a a damp cold day. Multiple diffusers, plug-ins did not offset the dirty diaper, blood stained sheet, & foul bathroom smell. Meager linen supply, lack of detergent, rodent bags rounded out this thoroughly unpleasant experience.

Property OK - Management Poor
The property we stayed in was acceptable and much as described on VRBO. My concern stems from the fact that I was forced to provide a picture of the credit card, to the Management company, which was used to secure this property the through VRBO. I had proof that the fees were already credited to VRBO and Elevate Properties, however they insisted prior to giving me the entry information. This was NOT in accordance with any information provided in the VRBO description. I was aware that I had to sign Elevate Properties pre-check-in form prior to arrival, but unaware that would include such an invasion of privacy. In this day and age, it is NOT ok, in my opinion, to send a picture of your credit cards to anyone, redacted or not!

Beautiful, restful location and space
Beautiful country location in a warm and cozy place that felt like a home away from home. The large living area and fireplace were divine, the beds comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed.
