The whole house was clean, and our communication with Paula and John made us feel welcome and invited. We had full access to everything on the property, and it was nestled in a small community that felt safe. The house is located close enough to many attractions to be convenient but not claustrophobic. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b41be81a-1fe6-4a70-9700-765d755814f8-1751157268889.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f57b0ad6-cae1-455b-be42-4711ff07ccb3-1751157298713.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ad7f8ebd-eeb1-4f12-b80f-7882c8336bfd-1751157325412.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/140bc7a0-9a68-4ccd-a474-ee98c32903fb-1751157379421.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Tyson F.

There are dirty fingerprints on every door and some light switches. The toaster oven was filthy. Our master bath shower curtain had mold on it. The second bathroom had some stinky smell also. The living room rug was very dirty. All the floors and corners were filthy. We did not feel comfortable cooking or eating here. We had headaches while there that went away once we were out the house for a while. Lots of things were in disrepair (cabinets, baseboards, tub walls) but I can over look those things if the place was CLEAN. You feel dirty just being there. The mold smell can not be safe. It’s overwhelming. The out door griddle was filthy. We left early. There was no way I could stay any longer. We would have left sooner but with 3 dogs we had no other option. There were dead bugs on window sills. I took multiple pictures, but you can’t photograph a smell. This place needs a deep cleaning. ##### Jennifer Z.
