Everything was as advertised. Location was good for us, the only drawback was on a busy street. Bed was very comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed. Heat and AC worked very well. It was nice to have a sweet cottage to ourselves.

Amazing Customer Service

The house was an adorable little cottage. It was perfectly located for us to get to Caldwell with ease. There was some unexpected city sewer work that occurred at the house that created some inconveniences for us, but Maria made sure we were compensated and apologize for the inconveniences. She was wonderful! We would definitely stay here again!

Cozy and clean

The small house was clean, cozy and inviting. The beds were super comfy! The space around the bathroom toilet was very small so it is something to be aware of if you are a very tall person, etc. Property was next to a high traffic road and backing out of driveway could be a challenge during rush hour. The location was close to shopping which is nice when you want to grab something to eat. We enjoyed our stay, and would stay again.

Upon arrival, we were unable to access the property using the entry code provided. Despite multiple attempts to contact the host, we received no response until the following day. As a result, we were forced to secure last-minute accommodations at a local hotel around 10 p.m., which was both stressful and inconvenient.While VRBO has since issued a full refund for the original booking, I am now required to go through an additional process to recover the unexpected hotel expenses. This experience was extremely disappointing and frustrating, especially given the lack of communication and support during the incident.

This was the perfect stay for our family! The host was so fast with communication and set up for everything we didn't even know we needed! We didn't have infants but I loved that there was a high chair and playpen available for those that do, as well as a small dog door to the back yard. We didn't think we'd even need to use the laundry machines but it was so nice to have them there. There were ice trays and a water pitcher that we were so thankful for. It felt safe and clean and being down the block from a gas station and grocery store was so convenient. One thing I will say, I got coffee grounds because I thought there was a basic coffee maker however it's a Keurig now. But no fear! Albertsons is just down the street! Would definitely stay again

Overall it was a good stay a few things needed taken care of the refrigerator needed better cleaning the fruit and veg drawers were very dirty i had to was them before i could put anything in the HVAC vent and filter in the living room was filthy. Had to contact the host soon after we arrived to let her know that was not going to be enough paper towels and hand soap to last for the 7 days we would be staying she did bring some over but I think in the future these things should be taken care of before anyone's arrival. Another thing should have been brought to our attention was the Landscapers would be there one of the days we were staying there as we were taking a nap after a long morning hike and all of a sudden someone was in the backyard directly under our bedroom window with a weed Wacker that was a rude awaking . Overall it is a cute place with some dining and convenience store in walking distance
