Disliked: Cleanliness
Several electrical outlets did not work. In including front and back porch lights. Twin sized bed so uncomfortable. Granddaughter did not rest. Paint peeling on front and back porch. Musty smell inside house. Only one set of towels per bathroom. Also, towels and washcloths are type used for carwash. Not used for bathing. Jets not working in garden tub. Obvious this home needs refresh to meet vrbo expections. Obviously used for wedding accommodations only.

Our third stay and we still love this home!

We plan our vacation around when this home is available. We have a lot of family in the area and we enjoy staying a week here each summer. This home is just as described and the location is lovely. The owner is wonderful at responding to any questions quickly. As soon as you step through the door, you feel like you are home.

The house is very beautiful and homey. However when we got there there were dirty dishes in the sink, beer cans in the front flower bed, the utensils on the counter are dirty with food on them and the refrigerator was dirty and the last night there while in the shower the power went out in the bathroom and bedroom downstairs. I tried to message the host about the issues and got no response.

Bachelorette celebration

The grounds are beautiful. With a nice comfortable home. However, it wasn't very clean. The refrigerator was really dirty, the bathtubs were dirty. While the hot water was excellent, there wasn't any pressure. You're only able to use one water source at a time comfortably. The master bed sinks in in the middle!!! Making it impossible to sleep in. I had read about it in previous reviews but the host assured me that it had been fixed. But it hasn't.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The overall property was fine. It was evident that the property owners are not worried about pleasing the guests they have. We were really disappointed as this location was perfect! We live in Texas, but have immediate family about 1.5 min away from this location. We come out twice a year and were hoping this would be the spot. Nope. Master bed had such a huge dip in the mattress that we couldnt both sleep in it. The bed was not properly made. Fitted sheet was barely on, no top sheet and thin blanket. We found the top sheet in a ball ofvsheets in the closet. Pillow cases did not fit pillows. Pillows were sparce. One thin pillow per person, per bed. There were soiled wet towels in the washer. Lack of tv was expected but still disappointing. Kitchen was only acceptable room. Would have loved for this to have been our go to rental, but obvious its not a priority for owner. I would love to post pics of closet and washer.

Wonderful Family Weekend

This is a treasure of a house! We greatly enjoyed our comfortable stay while visiting family in the area. I had made food in advance and frozen it, and we were able to heat everything up in the oven to enjoy. The kitchen felt like being at home. It was quite chilly outside during our stay, but the house was cozy and warm. Our dog loved the mostly-fenced yard to get to run each day. If you have little adventurers, know that Turkey Creek is in the backyard and will require monitoring. The beds were comfortable and having 3 bathrooms was a dream! We will love returning if ever given the opportunity! The beds

Master closet had dirty laundry with heavy cigarette smell. Master shower appears unclean. Master bed sinks to the center. No occupant control of heat/cooling. Far too many lights not working. Bugs found in most rooms. Overall house did not feel clean.

Beautiful property

The property is beautiful. They do need to treat for bugs but it’s the woods so wasn’t too worried about them. The decor is like staying with grandma out of town. Super cozy and cute. We will make a trip back soon. Thank you for the hospitality.

The house is beautiful. The neighborhood is peaceful. Love the creek behind the house. The only issue - we had bugs, looked like cockroaches with wings multiple times (maybe this is an Alabama thing). There were bugs in the bathroom off the bedroom upstairs.

Bathrooms had not been cleaned

I knew the decor was dated when I booked this home. That was fine. However, the bathrooms had hair in the sinks — a lot — and gunk on the faucets and sinks and mirrors. There is no way these had been cleaned. There were several dead roaches in the house and some live bugs. Three-fourths of the lights did not work. The bedding was substandard, but we could live with that had the home been cleaned. The owner said she’d been sick and couldn't t check after housekeeping b.

Family vacation

This is our second time staying at this home. It is a perfect fit for our family vacation. Each person has their own room and space to spread out. The yard is lovely and the location is close to everything we need. The property manager was quick to respond to any questions we had. We look forward to staying here again next summer!
