PSU tailgate
The house was great, spacious and clean. It seems there were a few unfinished things, so aesthetically some of the house seemed unfinished. For the most part, the house was fabulous and suited our purpose. The shower could’ve had a little more water pressure and the handle kept falling off. All in all, the Place was great.Thank you.

We loved the property. It was very clean and affordable. We loved the location- it was close to everywhere we wanted and needed to be. The owners were very organized with the check in and check out process. We will stay here again when we come back to the area.

Was not as advertised and needs work
While this house was comfortable and the linens and towels were clean I believe this house was not as advertise at all. I would never book here again and in good faith can’t leave a review other than poor.
Pool and hot tub- there was no pool or hot tub and if there was a community pool, the welcome binder did not explain how to access it. Outdoor space- the pictures show a fire pit with chairs. The fire pit was in an overgrown backyard with no chairs and no firewood. The front yard was also overgrown. Smoke Detectors- there were two fire smoke detectors in the property, there was NO detectors in the basement and NONE in the bedrooms. Kid friendly- it was stated that “Families love it for extra beds/cribs, games and toys”. There was no extra pack away crib and no toys for children. There were incredibly steep stairs (with no padding) straight to a concrete basement floor with no door keeping kids away from the stairs. The other set of stairs had a broken banister. Additionally, there was no stopper in the tub to give kids a bath. There were also exposed wires, holes in the floor and unlatched air conditioning vents.
Additionally we had these issues:
- Very damp moldy smell in basement bedroom. The basement bedroom had a broken door and broken sketchy outlet.
- In the upstairs bedroom: the leg on one of the beds was missing so the whole bed tilted down.
Among other things: unfinished floors and broken things, this house needs work. Not with the nightly price.

Great stay
The outside of the property doesn’t do this justice. Clean, Well decorated and extremely comfortable. Only surprise was 3rd bedroom is in the basement pretty far away from the bathroom.
