The only issue was the drive way was very difficult to pull into, due to a dip between the road and the driveway. We didn't feel comfortable leaving the car on the road due to the neighborhood.

Thanks for the review Donnie! We do let guests know about the driveway in our pre-arrival information so there are no surprises, but we understand it may not be ideal for every vehicle or driver. We’ve also had no issues reported regarding the neighborhood, though we appreciate the feedback. Thanks again for staying with us, and you’re welcome back anytime!

We had a great time. The beds are very comfortable. The kitchen was very easy to to fix stuff. If there was a complaint, it would be that the orange couch railing was hurting our legs. Otherwise, it was a great time.

Blue bungalow house

Very welcoming and cute home that has been remodeled well. Backyard was a fun spot for making smores and letting kids hang out in hot tub. Plenty of space in the bedrooms. Not walking distance to anything, but 5 min drive to everything. Property managed well!
