We have stayed in the at different times in the white and blue house. We enjoyed our stay! Everything is neat and tidy and so comfortable! Will definitely stay again when we come through town.
The property was awesome. everything we needed and more. modern property and convenient location to everything we needed. would stay again and recommend to others
Nicholas is a great host!! The property is completely outfitted for a short or long term stay. All of the necessities are provided along with an extremely comfortable modern atmosphere. Every need is represented. Great smelling towels, beautiful shower, Coffee and all necessities, toothbrushes and toothpaste, beautiful towels, laundry has detergent, softener, and all the extras. It's feels like being in a brand new property. Comfy beds with nice sheets... I felt at home here... Very relaxing.. Thank You Nicholas!!
The host changed the reservation from the Blue house to the White house without notice. I asked for pictures, no response. We arrived at 4 p.m. as required and the property was not cleaned at all - unmade beds, unwashed linens, used towels in bathroom, old food in the fridge, etc. Contacted the host and he sent the cleaning lady over because she "forgot" to clean that day. We were on a schedule so waiting on the cleaning threw us off. We ended up leaving to our scheduled event without ever getting to use the property to change clothes, eat, etc. When we came back several hours later, the cleaning was done but there was still a dirty towel in the bathroom. The bathroom sink was VERY slow to drain. The shower and the toilet worked fine. During the check in process, I was on the phone with VRBO customer service two different times. After waiting for a "supervisor" for over 20 minutes both times, the calls were disconnected. VRBO then sent me an Email and I responded with the facts of the uncleaned property. As of this writing, I have received no response from VRBO and no offer to rectify the situation from either VRBO or the host.

Thank you for your feedback, and I sincerely apologize for your experience.
Unfortunately, this situation was the result of a scheduling oversight by our cleaning team, and we take full responsibility for that error. This is not the standard we hold ourselves to, and I completely understand how frustrating and disruptive that must have been—especially with your schedule.
As soon as we were made aware, we immediately sent our cleaning team to the property to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. That said, I recognize that this did not undo the inconvenience you experienced upon arrival, and for that, I am truly sorry.
We have since addressed this internally with our team to ensure this does not happen again and have implemented additional checks to prevent any future oversights.
We truly value our guests and the experience we provide, and I regret that we fell short during your stay.
The property was nice and clean and perfect for what we needed. The neighbor’s dogs barked all day and night and were obviously poorly taken care of; nothing the vrbo owner could do about this though. The door was hard to lock, but the host was responsive.
It was fantastic!Only issue was Google took us to the White House behind the blue house. So we thought it got painted. It was a long drive and we were tired and very stupid, lol. The owner was very nice.
Nice place. Clean and well decorated. A few things to note. The dog next door barks all night and could disrupt your sleep. Do not close the bedroom doors to sleep. There are no air registers in the bedrooms and it got hot. Cooled off when door was opened in the middle of the night because we were so hot.

This place was awesome, convenient to hwy, very clean and close to DG or Family Dollar if you need anything. The property it’s next to is an eye sore and those poor dogs being chained and locked up is SAD!
Place was nice, but needed curtains on kitchen window, as the people in blue house were doing the same, the area had barking dogs all night, didn’t get much sleep.
Newer, very clean property with easy access to I44. Good amenities! I didn’t receive check-in instructions quite as early on check-in day as I would like, but they did arrive in time. Bathroom was clean and nice, but it was a pedestal sink only, which made makeup application and hair styling kind of tricky. Rooms could have been darker. Blinds were nice and clean, but really needs curtains to keep the nighttime lights and morning sun at bay.
Cutest little blue house that met all of our needs! We had 3 adults, a lab and a maltipoo. The dogs loved having a big fenced in yard to stretch their legs. The house was new, clean and efficient. Beds were comfortable. Dollar general and market literally one street over. I was worried about only having one bathroom, but it was just fine. We were originally planning to stay longer, but our first grandson decided to come early.
Comfortable new home with cute decor. I had a quick and great response from owner when I had a small problem. The fenced in back yard was wonderful for my dog. The kitchen had everything I needed. I appreciated the washer and dryer and vacuum to keep the space tidy. I will definitely stay here again in the future. The neighbor’s dogs were barking a bit during the day.
