The house is beautiful and in a great location! The view of Wilson Lake was breathtaking! We booked this property for family to stay in that was coming in for my son’s graduation. The pool was a perfect place for the cousins to play and enjoy each other’s company and the adults enjoyed hanging out on the deck and catching up. We will definitely book this property again when family comes in to town. ##### Heather C.

The home is very large and fits our family get together well, the view is beyond gorgeous , the location is amazing, close to everything, and Rafi is the best host, very quick to respond to questions or needs.

Perfect for get away. Pool was cool during to time of year- screens on windows would have been nice to hear the lake sounds and fresh air..- dirty windows difficult to see from some. House could use some TLC. Controls for separate floors was nice- tricky to control but fortunate had a tech savvy cousin! Stove had 2 burners not working- couldn’t get one oven to work. Ample eating supplies. We enjoyed our time in this Beautiful area- would come again! ##### Susan H.

I am a frequent VRBO renter and this property was by far my favorite. Amazing views, sunset and sunrises were beautiful, the location was very quiet and had easy access to multiple restaurants, shopping, etc. The kitchen was laid out perfectly, the master was on the main level and separate from the 3 bedrooms on the top floor. The basement was a great hangout space. Rafi responded quickly and was very accommodating. Would highly recommend this home to couples or large family’s. We will definitely rent again! ##### Celeste B. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### jennifer s. 1 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Just the spot For our needs this was perfect. We were visiting our son at UNA and wanted a home with a pool, plenty of room and a view. This had all 3. I cooked all meals in the home. The kitchen had a large stove and oven and plenty of refrigerator and freezer space. The host was very responsive. The home was clean we had no problems there. We had concerns after reading some of the reviews but were happy with what the home provided us. We enjoyed time at the pool, meals cooked in the kitchen, meals and games at the dining room table, sitting on the patio, beautiful views from many rooms, walks in the neighborhood and a 15minute drive from campus allowing our son to stay with us. ##### jennifer s. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Brandon S. 6 Jun 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness #### Great view, lots of space, but disappointing. First the good: The house is huge and has plenty of space to host a family reunion. The views out the windows are stunning, with lots of natural light. The neighborhood is absolutely wonderful, beautiful, and quiet. However, once you get past that, it's pretty disappointing. The pool was dirty and unsafe due to a missing main drain cap which is extremely dangerous, so we could not use it even if we wanted to spend an hour cleaning it up. We were hoping to be able to use the pool but could not. The kitchen was not cleaned well, with dirty fridge shelves and sticky substance on the handle. The counter surfaces were unclean. If you intend to cook, expect to go to the store to get what you need to cook, because the pots and pans are unsafe to use with peeling teflon, even the can opener was so rusty we were afraid to use it. We spent a good chunk of money and time just getting pots we needed to cook. The pictures of this listing show the pool and kitchen prominently. Probably the worst thing is that both were unusable in the condition they were in. We managed to clean up the kitchen enough to use it after buying what we needed. The windows were not clean and there were smears all over on the interior. Lots of dead flies and bugs around the windows all over the house that could easily have been vacuumed up but weren't. Fingernail and toenail clippings in the living room. Sadly the owner seems to be dealing with a mice problem, saw several and disposed of a dead one. ##### Brandon S.

The pool area and river view didn't disappoint. The neighborhood is great as well. The house was a bit dated and some of the appliances in the kitchen didn't work exceptionally well (gas range and icemaker). The outside windows and upper patio area could use a power washing. Otherwise though, we were very happy with our stay. Some other reviews seem a bit picky about the cleanliness. It's a huge house and I'm sure getting it completely spotless between every guest is very difficult. We would most definitely stay here again if in the area. ##### Jon G.
