Home is clean and comfortable. This would have been a five star rating except the fire pit that was advertised was missing and that is the main reason we booked this home. If you are going to advertise an amenity it should be available or when informed it is missing something should be done to make it right.

Cute cozy house

This house is cozy with two bedrooms and a full kitchen. It is nicely decorated and clean. It is in a great location and well stocked. Both beds are hard and uncomfortable. A pillow top is needed. The curtains in the bedrooms are white and sheer. Therefore its too bright in the mornings. Need darker curtains. The listing included a firepit and free wood, none of which were found on the property. The two small lamps in the living room do not provide enough light. A main light fixture in the ceiling is needed. Overall our stay was great.

It was ok

There were several bugs crawling around, the trash containers outside were full when we arrived. There is a birds nest in the car port wood structure so there was bird poop all over my car in the morning. The lock box mechanism should be explained a bit better so that we know physical keys exist versus a electlll an electronic ley pad fpr entry. code.
