Great stay at this cute cottage!

Overall, our stay at this property was excellent! The house was clean, welcoming and relatively well-equipped. There were three of us who stayed for graduation and we hosted our family for two meals. We did bring in some extra chairs but otherwise there was plenty of space for everyone. The kitchen is small but sufficient for our needs. The check-in process went very smoothly with all the necessary information sent in a timely fashion. Communication was really great during our stay. Shortly after arrival I noticed there were no extra rolls of paper towel anywhere so I asked about that and they dropped a roll off within 30 minutes. Also, the smoke alarm in the main bedroom went off multiple times in the middle of the first night and the owner replied to my message quickly in the very early morning hours. The maintenance guy called at 5:30am to check on the situation and then came to the house around 6:30 to replace the entire smoke alarm unit. The bathroom is very clean and updated. They provide shampoo, conditioner and lotion but no body soap (which may have been listed in the description but I missed that and we didn’t bring any). The dishwasher wasn’t working (they told me before arrival) but they said to just leave dirty dishes in the sink. No garbage disposal or ice maker (they have two trays in the freezer) but these are obviously not essentials. Only real suggestion would be to add a more substantial doorknob/lock to the side door for safety purposes.

Moved my son into Baylor. This home was quiet and very comfortable. Loved the fans and the great air conditioning to beat the heat.
