We are in the states for a bit from missionary work in Colombia and needed a place to stay near Charlotte for the month of December for my husband and myself, our 2 college age kids, our 3 young children, and our dog. The homeowner, Jill responded right away to our inquiry about the house, answered all our questions thoroughly and graciously, was very friendly in our phone conversations, and made it possible for us to stay in the home for the month just ahead of some long-term guests. The process of setting up the rental and making all the arrangements with Jill was easy and smooth. She sent us a code to get the key from a lock box when we first arrived, allowing us to get settled in, then met us the next morning. She was very sweet and just wanted to make sure all was good and make our stay comfortable. She had left us a detailed and easy to follow note with instructions of how to work the tv, garbage pick-up information, the internet password, and emergency contact info.
When we walked into the home after our long day of driving, it had a beautiful, clean, and relaxing set-up!! We felt right at home and so blessed to be there! The couches and chairs were quite comfortable. The kids excitedly explored the house and discovered that in the upstairs loft there was a Christmas tree already set up and decorated, which was special to them as they had worried about how we were going to have a tree and decorations since we weren't going to be in our home for Christmas. Our dog was very happy to be able to run around freely in the fully fenced in backyard. Our kids enjoyed playing back there and at the housing playground.
The home was spacious and provided plenty of room for all 7 of us, It was nice to be able to be together for Christmas and in a place that felt like home. The kitchen was stocked with all the dishes, utensils, glasses, and pots and pans we would need. There was dish detergent as well as cleaning supplies for us to use. The master bathroom had a nice large bathtub that our kids enjoyed taking baths in and good water pressure in the shower. The cabinets and closets were fully stocked with lots of towels, bedding, and blankets sufficient for all of us. I was happy to see clothes hangers and plenty of dresser space in the master bedroom and shelves in the other bedroom closets. The beds were comfortable.
Shopping was nearby.
We would stay here again if we had the opportunity. We appreciate Jill and the kindness she showed us.
