I was discouraged for the second time renting this house that not only was the grille dirty but oven was filthy. It’s a self cleaner…?? The property host was awesome got back to me in a timely fashion👍. Had issues with Roku tv .. and unfortunately due to weather we were inside more than other times.. agree. Just regular cable would’ve been so much easier. Had a nice stay but initially it was listed as a 5 bedrooms in one website but when I noticed on final payment it said 4 .. did discuss with property person. She agreed it was a mistake but could t change it since all units were filled. These people nuts are very pricy compared to 3 and 4 years ago .. ##### Kathy H.

Great location for the family wedding we were attending at Waterfront Event Center(close to many restaurants and bars too!). Worked out well for grandparents to stay in the upstairs master (bonus for the walk in shower) and the younger crew to be downstairs with the nice hang out area. We enjoyed the small neighborhood pool and the Waterpark pool (pool passes were great and so was the park's swim up bar for the 21 and over crowd). Property manager Bridget responded quickly to my questions including bringing a few more knives on a Saturday! Things that I would want other travelers to note: dressers or luggage holders in the downstairs bedrooms would have helped us feel more organized - and if you are planning on cooking, bring your own knives. It is a nice clean, quiet, family friendly location. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 9 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kim K. 6 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great family Option The house in the layout was a great option for our family of 12.

Location was good water park was so much fun as we brought the grandkids and kids with. I would definitely recommend this location. My only complaints is that we were only given 3 garbage bags , and no dish soap.. we paid almost 200 for cleaning fees and I don’t feel they did a very good job of cleaning before we got there.

The previous night's snowfall was cleared from the driveway and sidewalk. Though the home was primarily clean, there were withered grapes at the base of the kitchen faucet and the oven was desperately in need of cleaning. Additionally, there was an inadequate supply of toilet paper. My group appreciated the passes to the water park. Overall, quite enjoyable. ##### Renee W. Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2022
