All the right stuff!

We enjoyed the clean, comfortable, homey and well appointed house. The central living area with bedrooms all on one end was a great layout. The self checkin/checkout is very convenient. The only issue we had was self imposed and the owner fixed it for us within 2 minutes. All of the owner communications were easy to understand and responses were quick. I plan to stay here again and would highly recommend it.

In town for our son’s wedding. Very clean, nice linens. Convenient to major highway made getting around Huntsville simple while still being in a quiet neighborhood. Owners were prompt on all communication.

One of the most well organized houses we have ever stayed in

This was one of the most well organized houses we have ever stayed in. We were well informed and it was very neat and tidy. The rooms were spacious and we had plenty of room for the 8 of us. I appreciated there was minimal things in the house (so my kids ages 3-13 didn't get into knick-knacks I'd be worried about them hurting). Though 1 more couch in the living room, in order to hold the 8 people the house can sleep, would be ideal, so we can all enjoy time in the living room together without having to sit on the floor. Please note that the chairs at the dining room are bar height, so they can't be moved into the living room for comfortable seating. I loved that there were washers and dryer with detergent available to use. My only real complaint was while the floor was broom swept clean, it was not clean-clean. My kids are used to running around on bare floors with bare feet at home. Here, however, their feet turned black quick.

Family Reunion

First thing I must give praise to Ben and Lela, they made me feel so welcome. I will always feel like they are my extended family. This will be our home to stay anytime I go to Huntsville. The home is beautiful, located in a quite neighborhood, and close to everything. The home is decorated in such a cool theme and very spacious. They have everything you need to make your stay away from home feel like at home. Ben and Lela you were the best hosts and I wish you nothing but success! Trust me you won't want to leave. Oh they can give you access to parking in the garage and access to see camera view of the access points. Now how cool is that.
