It worked perfect to stay at and accommodated us perfectly. ##### Brenda K.

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. Stayed 8 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dean E. 3 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect for a family get together! 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. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 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 Plus, the appliances are outdated.2) The layout of the house isn’t easy to use, and 4 bedrooms have to share 1 bathroom!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.
