Nice house. Small pool. You have to pay 100 dollars per day for pool heater to be turned on.

Thank you for your feedback and for staying with us.
We would like to clarify that the pool heating fee is $50 per day, not $100 per day. For many years, we provided pool heating at no additional charge. However, due to the rising costs of propane and utilities, we have unfortunately had to begin charging a fee to help cover those expenses.
We apologize for any confusion or inconvenience. We appreciate your comments and are glad you enjoyed the house. Thank you again for choosing to stay with us.
The host was very accommodating . There were a few things that were broken and we left a note for the host letting them know, The home was very spacious and clean. Having the large sectional was a definite plus.

Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful feedback. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us.
We’re very happy to hear that you enjoyed the spaciousness, cleanliness of the home, and the comfort of the large sectional—that means a lot to us. At the same time, we sincerely appreciate you letting us know about the items that need attention. Your note is very helpful, and we will make sure everything is addressed promptly.
It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back again in the future. Wishing you all the best!
This is a very nice comfortable upscaled home in a not so upscale neighborhood. The warning signs, stating “not responsible if personal items are stolen”, didn’t help. We felt a bit uneasy worrying our car would get stolen. Beautiful pool.

Thank you for your feedback and for your kind words about the home and pool. We’re delighted that you found the property comfortable and enjoyed your stay.
We understand your concern regarding the signs. They are posted as a standard recommendation for liability purposes and are common in many vacation rentals. In all the years we have owned and operated this property, we have never experienced any issues with theft or guest vehicles. In fact, when our children were younger, we often left doors unlocked and even accidentally left keys in the door without any problems.
We appreciate you sharing your perspective, as it helps us better understand how guests may perceive these notices. Thank you again for staying with us, and we hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future.
Our family had a great time hanging out in the house. Plenty of room for us to eat, plays cards and hang by the pool. Managers were very responsive with questions we had and also helpful with suggestions for visiting the city. We would stay here again.
The hosts were the best we have encountered. We have rented in a few different places and have never had such gracious hosts. They made things so enjoyable!
