Our stay was good and the property was as describe. We were in town for a weeding so we didn’t spend a lot of time hanging out at the house. Game room was cool and wish we had more time to enjoy it. Could use a few more bathroom and kitchen linens, but other than that we would definitely stay here again.

Stay was fantastic. A few things to note.-the buckets holding the light poles in the back hold water and will bread mosquitos, you should drill a drain hole in them.-pool table is way out of level-should hang curtains on front door and kitchen window-air freshener in the garage/game roomThese are very small improvements you could make and increase the experience even more.Great place would stay again

Nice stay in a clean, well appointed remodeled home. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen had what we needed including a Keurig for coffee. Side by Side fridge with ice maker. No issues with entry or WiFi. Home is in an older neighborhood. It is close to Diamond Diner with classic diner vibes where we a very good breakfast. Garage has a great game area. Unfortunately this trip was in January and It was a little too cold to hang out. Just an FYI, the driveway has a steep incline and is pretty narrow. Lower riding cars or large trucks might have an issue. There is street parking.

Quick get away

Three ladies getting away for a long weekend found a perfect oasis. This is a beautiful, quiet, property with a large private backyard. Perfect to enjoy time outside with the fire pit, yard games, a cook out. This place looks exactly like the pictures, everything is spotless and looks new. We had no problems getting checked in or out and our host was promptly available to message. We all enjoyed the beds and having our own rooms was so nice to relax. The game room in the garage was a great assess !! What a nice way for us to have fun and activities without spending extra money. We were not familiar with Evansville but found this to be a pretty close drive to everywhere we wanted to go. It was easy to hop on the highway. We are midwesterners, so we are familiar with driving everywhere. Places we ate and enjoyed; Gerst (German food and a fun environment), Pangea kitchen (yummy pizza and deep dish), Big Top drive in (classic old drive in, giant sundaes, yummy burgers and grippo fries), Frankie’s (delicious breakfast), River city coffee (yummy coffee and adorable gift shop). We also enjoyed shopping and walking around by the river. A great meet up place to relax. Would stay again !
