Summary: The home was great. A couple out dated things but that didnt bother us. Nice area, nice backyard and easy to get to. Dirt road with dips so go slow. Lovely stay! Would visit again!
Lance R. Sep 19, 2024 10:13:38 AM
Summary: Property was upgraded and very clean. Close to campus, restaurants, etc. Departure was great....just lock the door. The neighborhood was older and more rustic (dirt road to house), but felt very safe

Summary: The house sits on an unpaved road. Wasn't aware of this and we had my husband's sports car. Upon check in, first thing you notice is how newly renovated this charming old ranch is. They did a very nice job. Looking closer there were a lot of small black bugs on the sofa and pillows in living room. Some were alive some dead. We did find small white spiders on pillows in living room, on yellow chairs and in the bed. Management company was great about responding. My kids were very unhappy so we checked out next morning. We didn't even use the yard but it is huge and backs to woods. Bring bug spray for sure. The back bedroom with twin beds is hot. Must be an addition so the air doesn't cool that room. Even with ceiling fan on I recommend bringing an old school box fan. I could be wrong but it felt like the house was vacant for a while before we rented it and whoever did the deep cleaning didn't do a good job!!!!
