The house was very comfortable in size and temperature control (It was a hot, humid weekend.) Check-in was easy. The kids enjoyed the air hockey table and the playground out the back. We all enjoyed the patio complete with the flower boxes. The host was readily available. I would stay here again and would recommend this to anyone who needs a house to accommodate a group of 10 or so. ##### Elgene B.

It was just me, so I had more bedrooms than I needed, and the master bedroom bed was super comfortable. Easy check in and easy check out! ##### Tracey W.

We rented this house as a family get together for my son’s birthday. Worked out perfectly. The level just below the kitchen area as an air hockey machine which the kids loved and was a great area for all of us to gather and watch him open presents. Plenty of rooms and bathrooms for everyone. ##### Dean E.

It worked perfect to stay at and accommodated us perfectly. ##### Brenda K. Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Xing W. 28 Feb 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication Disliked: Listing accuracy #### House is a lot smaller and older than the photos show. 1) The living room and the kitchen are a lot smaller than the photos show. They can accommodate a group of 6, but not larger than that. Definitely not 12\. Plus, the appliances are outdated.2) The layout of the house isn’t easy to use, and 4 bedrooms have to share 1 bathroom! One bathroom is in the master suite, and another one is in the basement (far from bedrooms). Therefore practically 4 bedrooms have to share one bathroom.3) The bedroom in the basement isn’t really usable as a water drain is exposed right next to the bed.4) Some bedroom windows don’t have curtains. There weren’t enough Kleenex and toilet paper, or even a hairdryer. But the owner responded to our request quickly. ##### Xing W.
