spooky!
This property has entirely too many PERSONAL items/collections/photos/ displayed EVERYWHERE to make it a comfortable VRBO. We felt like we were invading someone's very personal space. In addition, the property was not clean. The bed pillows in the master bedroom had a strong body odor and were extremely uncomfortable. All pillows in the property need replacement. Dishes in cabinets all needed to be washed prior to use. Carpets were spotted and dirty. Would not recommend this property. The one bright spot on the property was the game room above the garage.

Girls trip
12 of us, 4 generations. Plenty of room for all. Did not utilize the neat bar as to far from house and to many steps for grandma. I know cleaning company does not do dishes, but pulled a lot of dirty ones out of cupboard. Started judt washing whatever we needed to use. Overall cleanliness good, but some dusty areas(fan blades) allergies kinda kicked in. Would definitely recomend this place to others. Great time! Thank you.
