I would NOT recommend this property. Pictures are deceptive. Strong smell of sewer gas. There were other issues. Not safe. We had to leave 20-30 minutes after entering. Been fighting to get a refund.

The place was just okay. It got the job done. It was somewhat updated but it was kind of a half job. I didn’t notice any weird smells. We had four people and it was really nice to have our own beds and it was in a very quiet area. The beds, however, were very squeaky. I would not have wanted to share the bed. Three rooms are near each other in the main living area of the house. The fourth bedroom is downstairs near the garage and it only has one exit, the door to the room. There is no window or other way to get out so I’m not even sure if that is legal because I think it’s a fire hazard. The kitchen had only the basics which was okay for making breakfast. I did appreciate the fact that the listing stated it had a CO2 detector because not all nearby locations had them. I hope the owners can make a few adjustments for improvement for the future.

Thank you for staying with us and for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We’re glad the quiet setting, having separate beds, and the basics in the kitchen worked well for your group, and we appreciate you noting the home felt updated in parts and that you didn’t notice any odors.
We’re sorry the squeaky beds and the layout concerns with the downstairs bedroom made the stay less comfortable. Your comments are helpful, and we’ll take them seriously as we look at improvements for future guests.
