Disliked: Listing accuracy
Honest review here because I wish someone else would have shared this information. First off, this is listed as a house and it is in fact a duplex separated by a garage. We would not have booked this had we known. The adjoining neighbor has a dog that barked everytime we walked in or out and we have two small kids who love to go in and out. The front yard was filled with sticks and overgrown grass. We did not get the door entry code until I asked for it about 20 minutes before check in. The host was very quick to respond to any messages we sent.The downstairs addition would be a great space other than the fact that there is only 1 thermostat for the entire house and we had it set upstairs at 70 and the downstairs was 65 or colder. We ended up shifting rooms and not utilizing the downstairs room because of that. The kitchen is extremely undercooked so if you’re looking for a kitchen to be able to cook in/utilize then bring your own items. We were able to do breakfast pretty easily but that’s about it. The dishwasher is not bolted in nor did we find any dishwashing cleaning supplies so we hand washed all dishes. The hot water in the main bathroom gets lukewarm at best. The beds were very comfortable, I will say that. The windows did not keep any noise out and the blinds in most rooms were broken so we felt as though extra noise, cold and sunlight came in. There was also a foul odor throughout the house. Overall we felt this was overpriced and falsely advertised.

Hi Jason,
Thank you for the kind words, that dog is really friendly. Thanks also for keeping the house clean. You rated 1 star, was it a mistake? If yes, could you please update?
Thank you again for staying at our place, we're looking forward to hosting you again!
Things were a little dusty, but it was off season for our stay. The other issue is the kitchen wasn't stocked with a lot of useful items (like large serving spoons). However, the owner was helpful and accommodating. We would use this venue again for our group.
This was our first time ever going this route. Simply amazing! Everything all the way down to property owner making sure had everything plus more. Very tentative to our every need. We will bring using this property again!!

Thank you so much for the nice review.
It was an absolute pleasure hosting you.
You were an excellent guest!
We look forward to welcoming you again.
The stay was great. Will definitely 💯 stay there on our next trip to Springfield, Illinois. They responded within minutes of an email. Everything was great. The money was well spent. I had just had a TKR 7 weeks ago and the walk-in tub was right on time. The basement is another living space for separate entertainment, and it’s a full bathroom, bedroom and living room furniture.

Willow & family,
Thank you so much for your kind words! It was nice having you, and we would love to have you again.
Than you!
Pros: Beds were comfortable with bedside tables and access to outlets, carpeting looked new. Great location to local attractions and restaurants. Felt like a safe neighborhood. Driveway fits two cars, with street parking available for more. Owner very responsive to questions.
Cons: Needs better attention to cleaning (windowsills were very dirty throughout, air exchange vents were either super dirty or rusted); Could use a table and/or luggage racks in bedrooms. Upstairs bathroom had a walk-in tub that was very awkward to use for showering. Electrical needs attention - lights in bath/kitchen went out several times and needed outlet to be reset. Area rug in living room is a trip hazard.

Thank you for your thoughtful review and for highlighting both the positives and the areas where we can improve.
We’re glad you enjoyed the comfortable beds, convenient location, and the safety of the neighborhood. Being responsive to our guests is always a top priority, and we appreciate your kind words.
Since your visit, the property has undergone a full renovation, including all-new flooring and completely updated bathrooms. We paused rentals for nearly a year to complete these improvements and address all maintenance concerns.
We’ve also taken your cleaning feedback seriously and worked with our housekeeping team to ensure higher standards moving forward. Electrical components have been reviewed for reliability, and a new area rug has been installed to eliminate any trip hazard.
Thank you again for your valuable input—we truly appreciate it and hope to welcome you back in the future.
Not handicapped friendly. Property manager hard to contact.
We were told that this was handicapped accessible. And we're very excited about the walk-in tub. When we got there there are two stairs to get into the building and no ramp for our wheelchair. The hallways were so tight that a walker or wheelchair barely could go through the hallways. We contacted the property manager and he told us he would refund our money. We have not heard back from him yet. I am still waiting to hear from vbro also about a refund because the house was not what we read with the listing. We are a group home traveling with physically and mentally disabled adults. We are hoping for resolution soon.

Thank you for your message. I’m sorry to hear that the property did not meet your expectations. However, I would like to clarify a few important points for accuracy:
At no point did we advertise the home as handicapped accessible, nor did we receive any communication from you prior to your arrival regarding accessibility needs. Your booking request was submitted on February 2, 2024, and we did not hear from you again until your check-in day on July 8. That was our first conversation, during which you informed us the house wouldn’t work due to wheelchair access. At that time, we immediately agreed to issue a refund.
We followed up with you multiple times afterward to find a suitable way to send the refund. You mentioned you did not have CashApp, Zelle, or Venmo. Eventually, on August 28, you provided your friend Amy’s Venmo account, and we sent the full amount of $419.
Given that we did everything we could to resolve the situation promptly and respectfully, we are surprised by the review you've left. We understand you were traveling with individuals who have special needs, and we always strive to be as accommodating as possible. That said, it is essential that guests clearly communicate their requirements before booking, so we can assess whether the property is a good fit.
We genuinely wish you the best and hope any future stays better meet your group’s needs.

Not good for a rental. We had 8 senior ladies and everyone remarked it was dirty
#1 we got in after dark and our first hello was a cut off stump right next to front steps. An accident waiting to happen. Not marked or covered. BAD!,
The stove burners looked to have never been cleaned were dirty and rusty completely covered The refrigerator no ice or water hooked up and inside drawers again filthy never wiped out, sticky substance, yuk.
The whole unit was in need of cleaning, looked like cement spilled on kitchen floor and hard as cement. Kitchen cabinet drawers no linings bare wood. Who knows when they were last wiped out. SAD SAD.
Bedding almost non existant. Thin and looked to be from the Goodwill or a thrift store. For sure not up to pare for tourist rental. And to think they charge a cleaning fee. Here to tell you someone is getting ripped off here.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear your experience did not meet expectations. Cleanliness and safety are our top priorities, and we’ve since reviewed our cleaning processes and addressed the tree stump concern.
The property has undergone a full renovation, including new flooring, updated bathrooms, and appliance deep cleaning. Regarding bedding, all of our linens are high-quality and purchased from Home Goods to ensure comfort for our guests. Thank you again for your feedback—we use it to improve and provide better stays for future guests.
I kept calling to find out what our code was and couldn't get a reply. I had no contact. I had to call VRBO. They finally contacted them. The grass on the property was at least a foot and a half tall. We got the code and entered the house. The glass is broke out at the top if the storm door. The guttering was leaking over the front door. The air conditioning kept kicking off. The electricity in both bathrooms kept shutting off. You had to keep hitting the reset button to keep it on. The bedrooms was nice upstairs, but the bedroom downstairs was pretty bad. It was pushed up against a basement window that was full of spiders and webs. I had to pull the bed out 2' feet to keep it away. The downstairs bathroom was definitely a basement bathroom. The lighting was so dim that you had to take a flashlight with you to see. I could go on, but I will stop there. This house needs to be off the rental circuit until it gets some maintance done. I say all this so someone won't get burnt like us.
