The house was very nice just needs a deep cleaning. Lots of spider webs and dead bugs. Everything else was very nice. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need.The "man cave" garage was nice. It was very hot outside and no ac in the garage so pretty warm in there. Also needed a good cleaning. Lots of spiders and webs. Nice pool table and air hockey.

Our stay was good and the property was as describe. We were in town for a weeding so we didn’t spend a lot of time hanging out at the house. Game room was cool and wish we had more time to enjoy it. Could use a few more bathroom and kitchen linens, but other than that we would definitely stay here again.

The home was very nicely decorated, very clean and in a great location at the end of a street. The backyard is very beautiful where you can hang out and enjoy being outside. The game room is a great touch and would have been used more if we would have been in town longer. Enough space for our family. Great and quick communication by property owner/manager. Location was close to University of Evansville where we spent most of our time for baseball.

Nice place for the most part. It’s an older home that has been renovated with new touches. The house could have been cleaner. We found a lot of dead bugs. There was dirt/dust under beds and TV stand. It would be nice if there was a way to get AC in the game room. The thermostat was initially set to keep reverting to a program which made it get really hot the first night we were there. The host responded to my message quickly about to how fix that. The beds were comfy. Overall it was a nice place, but maybe a little expensive for what you get. The 170 cleaning fee is crazy considering how clean the place was.

Check in was easy, host was very nice and welcoming and allowed us to stay an extra night. The only issue is the game room was filled with bugs and spiderwebs but we cleaned it out and it was alright. Overall amazing stay!

Bobby was great to work with and instantly returned messages and needs. Home is in a convient area to a lot of the activities we travelled on this trip for, which was seeing family. I would not hesitate renting again, but will be better prepared. Listing mentions mosquitos and you'll definitely want to bring spray. The back yard is lush and a great play area for your fur friends, but the skeeters are pretty thick.Probably needs to talk with the crew that attends to the home between visits. Outside trashcans were full, so we had to take trash off and the grill has not been cleaned in quite awhile. We just threw on some aluminum foil. "Game room" area was much smaller than it appeared in the listing and is in the garage and not climate controlled, so make sure to bring some fans during the hotter months if you're going to use the area.Price point really made a few irritations well worth working through them and as mentioned, I would not hesitate renting again.
