Have stayed in several vrbos over thw years. This would rank as my favorite. The house was updated and very cozy. I feel like he thought of everything! Beds comfortable. Nice place to relax.

We needed something larger than hotel rooms. This worked out perfectly. The property was very clean and we enjoyed having a full kitchen. I think there may still be some finishing renovations to do but other than that, all good. ##### Ashley S. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Timothy S. 27 Mar 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### AL Trip The house was older, but somewhat updated. The house was older but safe and secure. It was a bit dirty when we arrived, the counters, floors, frig, stove and tables were dirty. There were many finishing touches that were not done in the house, and it just seemed to be rushed through. We have stayed in many VRBO properties, and this one was at the bottom of that list. Overall, it was a good stay, but I don't think we'll be back. ##### Timothy S. Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Connie J. 18 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Thank you for the accomodations. They were very nice.

I was notified before my stay of the address and door code. I enjoyed the electronic light and not having to keep track of keys. Directions and instructions for the house were clearly identified. Television, air conditioning and other amenities were clearly identified. The kitchen was massive and well done with plenty of room for my entire family of 6\. The house was very clean, beds were nice and comfortable. Plenty of towels, soaps, shampoo, laundry soap were provided. Window air conditioners worked well and kept the upstairs cool. The owner was very accomodating and responded promptly when I needed assistance. Would stay here again and recommend this home. ##### Van D.
