Our stay at Melody house was not quite what we were expecting. It is neglected and in need of maintenance. I cannot recommend this rental at all and is not good value for money.

We were looking for a nice place to get away from our busy lives and chill out for a couple of days. This place had great views and was a nice place to cozy up with some wine and a book.

This home was beautiful and well-appointed! The back patio with bridge was amazing. Perfect for a peaceful morning coffee before the day’s events. The home is spacious and accommodating for a family trip. If you need more space, you can combine it with the Harmony House with the connecting bridge if it is available. We will stay here whenever possible if we are in the area.

Perfect Weekend Getaway

This cabin stay was exactly what we needed. The cabin itself is absolutely beautiful and very relaxing. We loved sitting outside and just taking in nature. There was also plenty to do in St. Francisville during the day. We had a wonderful time and we will be back!

This was our 3rd stay at the Melody house and it’s always the best little getaway! Everything about the home is perfect, and the town of st. Francisville is precious! We are planning a trip booking both homes soon with more family coming and we absolutely can’t wait! Pam is so kind and responsive! We absolutely rate the Melody house 10/10!

Nice and clean

All the mapping apps except for Apple Maps took us to a different location 30 minutes away. So we drove to the wrong location and had to figure out where the actual location was. It would be helpful to put detailed directions in the listing so this doesn’t happen to other renters. Once we got to the place it was super nice and clean. We enjoyed our stay.

Had a nice stay to visit family. More family decided to stay last minute and host was appreciative of the notice. Communication was good. It is a quiet place to stay- we loved birding on the bridge in the morning. Appliances worked well and everything was clean. Would stay there again!

I stayed at Melody House and my Family Stayed at Harmony House

Upon arriving from my flight late at night, a VRBO with no check in was a welcome site. Until we got to the wrong address. We attempted to break into the house at the address at midnight from the email that I was sent. Thank you all that is great, that no one was home. After calling her she apologized and we packed the car back up and went to her other property. We got right in and immediately found mice. Over 2 days we killed 5 mice and the traps finally remained untouched after that. The owner claimed to have no knowledge of the mouse problem but there were traps literally in every room of the house. Clearly there is a pre existing mouse issue. Our family staying at her other property also had a mouse infestation. After informing her of this, her resolution was “Sorry, I’m sending an exterminator, we had no idea.” THANK God we didn’t realize this bit until packing up. The sheet under the sheet we were sleeping on had what can only be assumed are blood stains on it. Our sheet had a brown splotch on it as well which we sadly assumed was mouse related and just went with…... Overall, this was a sketch on the cleanliness scales for any VRBO I’ve ever stayed in.
