Overall communication & check in process were very easy. Home was as described & shown in photos. Cute, cozy, & plenty of space to sprawl out for a family of 4 visiting for the weekend.

Not fancy but functional. My sister and I were visiting relatives, but wanted a place of our own. This rental fit the bill.

Convenient Location, Well Furnished

Communication with the host was excellent; they accommodated an unexpected change in plans and were very responsive. Most of my purpose in coming was to cook for my stressed out college student, and the kitchen was reasonably well-equipped with pots, pans, utensils and dishes. There’s a full spice rack, too. There are two Roku TVs and the Internet was adequate as well.

Overall really nice. It was clean and had extra towels/blankets and adequate kitchen. Plenty of space. Wifi was fine. It had fair AC and water. The washer dryer worked and she even left us enough soap for a few loads. The neighborhood was nice and we even went on a walk around to walk my dog. Would absolutely book again. Its about 1.5 hours to get to Chicago for a visit depending on the area. It also has some nice restraunts in the nearby towns. We also had a change of plans and she worked with us to book an extra day when it was possible.

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, listing accuracy
This vrbo was nasty to say the least. The first night we got in close to midnight and went straight to bed, only to smell the strong smell of dog urine. I had no choice but to stay at that point bc it was so late. The owner tried using natures miracle the next day when I complained to help with the smell but it still didnt take the smell out completely, and they used plug ins to cover up the smell. Those were there before I arrived. Red flag. This place had no updating in years. I took photos to report what was seen to vrbo. The next morning after trying again after the treatment on the flooring, I noticed another alarming thing. What looked like hair that was trimmed, idk if it was pubic hair or body hair but it was thick, and it was located on the top corner of the shower curtain mixed with hardened cream of some sort. I didn't notice it the first night, I wish I had. But anyway, be aware that the pics are deceiving. They only show the best angles to make you think its a nice place, and It’s not. Even the garage was falling apart, the drywall was braking and crumbling down. The laundry had floors that must have had holes in them bc they had been covered up with a piece of wood. The flooring was old yellow linoleum in the laundry room too, And in there was moldy pipes also. The living room walls had paint chipped bad where the couch was like they havent painted in a while, and outlets were detached from the wall.

Property is extremely NOT SAFE!! No heat and SHOWER DID NOT WORK, no hot water, property.

Property is extremely NOT SAFE!! No heat and SHOWER DID NOT WORK, no hot water, property extremely dirty!!! I took pictures of my stay, the property was the most dirty and disappointing waste of money!! I will be ending my relationship, membership, and VIP with VRBO due to THE past 5 experiences! Missing to meet cleanliness, safety, and quality standards. The was the worst property I’ve ever seen and The service rushed, nothing was clean!!! very disappointing to have NO HEAT IN FREEZING WINTER , no hot water and no supplies! REFUND MY MONEY IMMEDIATELY!!!Property was not safe and I was forced to leave causing me to book a new reservation at a local hotel. VRBO FAILED TO MEET CUSTOMER SATISFACTION!!!
