Very pleased with Cat Nap Acres. Such a quiet and serene setting, yet close to restaurants and shopping. Comfortable sleeping accommodations, and kitchen had all required utensils, pots and pans etc. Wifi was great and enjoyed large screen tv. Great to have a rental live up to the on-line description. Lovely home in a lovely spot. Hope to be back!

I was disappointed to pull up to this beautiful home and walk up to an unkept yard and outdoor living space. We were looking forward to being outside. The furniture on the front porch needed cleaning. It wasn’t even wiped off. I wouldn’t sit there with my good clothes on. They should have at least swept off the chairs. Upon entry the house appeared clean and well kept on the inside. Very nice home ! All bedrooms were good size and two were just fine. However, when I got to my room you could see the bed had clearly been laid on. I ask for housekeeping to come change it but management didn’t make that happen. I washed the bedding and remade it myself. We were given 1 towel and 1 washcloth per person for our four day stay. Also there was only one hand towel for each of the three bathrooms. I told them we didn’t have access to any others. At the end of the second day we came back to find a bag that had clean sheets ( so I could make the bed I guess) and enough towels for the rest of the stay. The deck was so dirty, furniture had layers of build up. Pictures online showed a great outdoor spot that was clean. There was a hornets nest on one of the deck light fixtures. I called to report this and they said on the first day they would get their person out there to get rid of it. That never happened. It was still there when we left. Even after I told them I was allergic to bee stings. There were lots of little beetle bugs throughout house live and dead. Wanted 5 star-got 2 star
