This is a military owned small business. The home is warm and welcoming! Communication with the owner was great! You can tell they take great pride in their home. Backyard is great for grilling and just chilling with friends and family! Highly recommend!

Great Guests....would welcome them anytime...clean, and treated our house extremely well
We did not bring pets. Location was good for where we needed to be. It was a very comfortable study. Everything was so clean and that was our number one priority. We had good set up and good space. Would stay here again!

Thank you so much for supporting this Veteran owned business. We appreciate you and the service of your son. God Bless and God Speed🇺🇸💯
It was a great place to stay. Everything was in place. Everything was good and we appreciate being able to get in early on our first day there. Awesome thank you.
The host was welcoming and communicated well. There was an issue at check-in where we were delayed due to the home still being cleaned and was asked to come back at a later time. There was an issue with a leak coming from a light switch on the wall which was soaking the carpet at the front of the master bedroom. The host had a technician out the next day to resolve the issue and it was fixed. The area around the home was concerning at times due to police activity at the house a few doors down, but overall it was quiet.

ADEQUATE on SHORT NOTICE
Adequate for one night on short notice. The 150 price is misleading. Our total cost was 355. Neighborhood is modest. General feel is outdated and decor is overkilled. Be sure to read the ample house rules, or the price will go up.On the positive side, hosts were responsive and accommodating.
I did not stay because the house was double booked

We apologize for the administrative error causing double booking. Although we have been in buisness for 6 years with an average score of 4.8 on Airbnb, we are new to the VRBO platform. We are in the process of working with VRBO to fix the kinks. Thanks for your patience and interest.
