Great get away

My teenage boys loved the game room and hot tub as did we! Very quiet except for the few footsteps from above but as a shared house that was expected. The decor was lovely and it was VERY clean! There was no laundry like mentioned in the listing .

The McDonald inn is beautiful and inviting.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The apartment was spacious and beautiful. We felt at home! The shared space is also a really fun space to hang out! The McDonald's cared for all of our needs. My only suggestions would be possibly having a water dispenser in the apartment, and a keyless entry (I fumbled with the lock box trying to get the key out of the way of the locking mechanism). We'd love to go back!!

It was ok for what we wanted. The heat is an issue. It was definitely very cold in the back room. The "kitchen" is tiny, but comparable to a hotel kitchenette. The property is nice and the people are nice.

Bad communication and barking dog

The owners left their dogs in crates right above where we were trying to sleep. The poor dogs were locked in their crates for 12 hours and wouldn’t stop barking the entire time we were there. We reached out and messaged and called the property owners and they didn’t even bother to send us a text back or anything. We finally got so fed up and didn’t even stay one night. As we were leaving the owners pulled in and we explained how unhappy we were and that we were leaving and they didn’t even care. I spent a lot of money and didn’t even get a dime back. This was a terrible first and last experience with Vrbo.

Ian decides our cruise will become a hiking trip in the hills instead!

This vacation was supposed to be a cruise to the Caribbean! Our vacation turned into a cozy home in the hills instead! We couldn’t have chosen a better spot for our short notice plans. The owners Sherrie and Jeff are awesome hosts and shared their beautiful home with us! The home is all your own, your own entrance, 2 bedrooms, a beautiful bathroom, a kitchen with everything you need and a cozy living/dining room! They share their donkey and dogs with you as well. There was a beautiful game room and hot tub area too. They were there to recommend places of interest or to eat. We felt so welcomed and at home! Thank you to you both for making our vacation an incredible one! We will see you guys again, maybe even on a cruise =)

Great spot for active family road trip!

What an amazing weekend we had celebrating our daughter's 16th birthday! Our family of 4 stayed in this beautiful rustic-modern 2 bedroom apartment on a pretty property that included a waterfall, "man cave," hammock, porch swing, BBQ & outdoor table and chairs. While there, we kayaked, canoed, hiked, went to a great farmer's market, and relaxed together. It was a blast, and we look forward to coming back! Thanks for such warm, thoughtful accommodations.

Home Away from Home

The property was very nice. The living room area was fantastic. We wished the shower was bigger but the kitchen option and two bedrooms were good. One of the beds needs replaced the other is good. The living area was the best. We played games, watched movies, awesome wifi connection and we were able to eat together at the dining table. Overall, it was a great experience.
