The property was exactly as described. Very clean and tastefully decorated and had everything my family needed to make our 3 night stay a great one! All of the extra throw blankets were such a nice touch too. Our host, Sunny was very responsive and so easy to communicate with.Would absolutely stay again!
Amazing host and very helpful! We loved the house.

My husband and I shared this rental with our adult children and our young grandchild. Pros: Interior of the house has been remodeled in care and consideration. Was clean and well stocked in amenities. Beds were comfortable. Upright fans in the rooms were fantastic (house has no air conditioning). Communication with the host was good. Cons: No usable outside areas (front or back) and the area that should have been usable (the back) had not been prepared for guests (no outside seating, severely overgrown weeds, cigarette butts, trash and pieces of glass from a shattered window pane on the playhouse). We tried our best to clean up outside to have the area be safe and usable for our grandson (which should NOT have been our task as the renters) but it ended up being safer to not have him outside. House is also located on the main corner of the entrance into a housing tract and backs to an active main street so renters do need to be prepared for random people parking outside the house and also active street noise.
We are country folk, so the traffic was a bit loud at night, but otherwise it was a lovely stay in a cute little house. We had plenty of room and the full kitchen was well stocked with a variety of pots and pans. Thank you!
