Great very clean property
We were only here for two days for a wedding but the house was updated and very clean. It has everything you would need for vacationing. The only thing I could say anything about is the tiny bathroom and the cinder block walls but I still give this rental 5 stars.

Family Reunion
We were in town for a family reunion. The house was immaculate. The hosts were AMAZING!! I had a hard time getting the door to work for me with the code and they emailed me back and forth without delay so I could get in. Very cozy home and quiet neighborhood.

Beautiful respite spot
The property is very pretty and well maintained. The house has been remodeled and very comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped, linens and towels are provided and there is a washer and dryer. Check in and out is super easy. Cody is very quick to respond to any questions and offered some great suggestions of area must sees. The property is very quiet and is a great respite from the hustle and bustle. We would definitely stay again.
