There is a stale cigarette smell throughout the house, probably from long ago. We showed up later in day and unfortunately didn't have access to the key and couldn't get ahold of the host so almost had to sleep in our cars. However, the host made up for it and did everything in her power to make it right. I thank her for that. Maybe contacting sooner just in case would be best. Overall it was a good house. Really enjoyed the jetted tub. ##### Amanda D. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Melissa H. 4 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful weekend stay We had a wonderful weekend at this house. The contact for the house was wonderful and very accommodating and responsive. We had forgotten a few items and they shipped them back to us! The kitchen was well stocked with everything you could ever need and the house was spacious enough for our family gathering of 7 adults and 6 children. A few things we brought to the attention of the owner is the carpet in the basement bedroom needed a deep cleaning or replacement as it did not appear that clean. The kitchen was amazingly well stocked but there were no empty cupboards for putting our own food and items in. Other than that we had a wonderful stay. ##### Melissa H.

The grounds were overgrown. The sheets on multiple beds had hair on them, were thread bare, and rumpled The throw blankets and some of the bedding smelled of BO. There were stains on the furniture, broken fingernails on the rug, sunflower seeds on entry carpet, toilets filthy. Due to the unclean nature it was hard to be in the house. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9158ebf7-0924-4456-a98a-7b08e1628119-1752474066799.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6f99da27-5cd6-4f9b-b05c-baaf8e38be37-1752474066321.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6ec11ad4-1927-4787-af4f-33d4691c7954-1752474065782.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Carla A.
