Great, Affordable & Very Spacious

Had a great stay! Even with 10 people, we still had a lot of room. On kind of a busy corner, but was very quiet inside and so close to downtown. Well stocked and nice place, everyone was happy! Would definitely stay here again.

The host did not give us the security code for getting into the property. After two calls, he still have not returned our call. The property was for sale so we ended up calling the realtor and he was able to give us a code to get in the door. We did contact Vrbo and supposedly they are giving us 125 credit for the 40 minute delay in getting into the house. That has not been received yet. The hot water blinked the lights every time we used it. It needs to have its own dedicated circuit. The house was very clean, but because of the check-in process and the hot water issue with the lighting, it was a little frustrating.
