This property was excellent for our quick trip to Maryville. Cleanliness was exceptional upon our check in. Very cozy feel to the property! The kitchen was well equipped for our cooking needs. Location was exactly what we wanted. Very close to anything you may need. Terry was very helpful and generous in accommodating us. Thanks, Terry! We really enjoyed the outdoor area on the back porch. Nice and shaded in the evening. We were not disappointed with anything during our stay.
