Beautiful house

We really enjoyed our stay. There was plenty of room for the three of us and the house was well stocked. The only negative thing I can say about the property is that the grounds are not maintained. It could be a beautiful yard if it were taken care of.

Thank you for staying with us and glad you enjoyed the house. My neighbor takes care of the lawn so I’m not sure about the comment about the grounds not being maintained. The bushes are trimmed and the grass is cut regularly. In addition, the Koi pond area is a place for relaxation and meditation.

The host won’t let the fire place get turned on till December. You can not let anyone in the house. The only people that can be in the house are the ones that rented it. My daughter couldn’t come over for a chat. You were told don’t touch the thermostat. If this is vrbo’s clientele. We will never use vrbo again and we will tell everyone we know NOT to use vrbo

Response from VrboOwner on 6 Apr 2026
Hi Sherry, Thank you for your feedback, however I'd like to clarify a few points. The weather in Huntsville is pretty warm in Nov still and that is why we start the fireplace service in December. I never stated you cannot touch the thermostat; it has a preferred setting but if you need to adjust it for your personal comfort there is no issue to make those adjustments. It is a set standard within VRBO that only the guest that booked are allowed to reside in the home. I have always considered guest request to have a visitor, of course it is preferable if you communicate that request with the Host ahead of time.

Very Pleasant Experience

5 adults (3 generations) spent 3 nights while attending a college graduation. We needed everything to work well from check-in to exit, and everything did. The house was exactly as advertised/shown, including cleanliness. The reference notebook was unusually clear & inclusive. Several items were nicely labled to assist with finding things, such as trash. Host was very available and responsive.

Great house in a great location!

The house was perfect. Loved the big kitchen and used it to prepare Thanksgiving dinner. It is very quite there and we loved the neighborhood. It is a great place to walk. The house is really convenient to Publix and pretty much anything else you would need. Deisy was great. She checked on us pretty regularly and we did not have any problems with the house during our stay. Deisy was super to us and allowed us to bring our dog and we did as she asked and keep Maggie off the furniture. Will definately stay there again if I need that big of a house.

Very Relaxing!

This home is beautiful, comfortable, and a perfect retreat. We appreciated the cleanliness of the interior, the tranquility of the outdoor space, the comfy master bed with the spa bathroom, and the spacious closets. All the TV’s were small which was the only point of contention with my husband. Although there’s free Wi-Fi available, there isn’t any cable tv. Mine was that even though we used our app logins for Hulu, Netflix, and Amazon Prime, the apps kept dropping after working for a couple of minutes. I believe a DVD player is available, but we satisfied our movies/video games fix by using our laptop and Xbox, so it worked out. The kitchen is well stocked with many gadgets, silverware, bakeware, basic cooking supplies, coffee k-cups etc. Bathrooms are also well stocked with shampoo, conditioner, soap, hairdryer, and towels. The interior design was tasteful and helped maintain the serene environment. As we were admiring the artwork, we found several of the pieces painted by Deisy. We were pleasantly surprised how talented she is as an artist. Deisy excelled in her communication with us, responded quickly to our questions, and was a very gracious host. Overall we had a great time and it felt like a home away from home. I wholeheartedly recommend “Koi Pond Nature Retreat” for your next getaway!
