We stayed here while displaced from our home due to the floods. The host was very flexible and allowed us to book same day. We didn’t have many options given we had dogs and they were able to accommodate us.

The property was nice for an extended family weekend.The downside was property was listed as a 3-bedroom and, after booking, I was charged an additional 300.00 for having 6 guests instead of 2.

Response from VrboOwner on 30 Aug 2026
Thank you for staying with us and for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the property for your family weekend. The additional $300 was based on the listing’s $25 per additional guest, per night fee for the 4 guests beyond the 2 included in the base rate. We appreciate you sharing your experience and wish you all the best!

We were looking for a nice spacious place to spend a long weekend with our adult children (and spouse/girlfriend) and our baby grandaughter. This home was very nice, it was the perfect size, and everything was pretty much provided for a great weekend getaway. We enjoyed our stay and felt very comfortable there!
