The house looked just like the pictures. Only issue we had was the downstairs air conditioning didn't seem to be working properly. But the weather was beautiful so didn't really need it. Had a great time in Clarksville. There's more to do than we thought. Check out Miss Lucille's, Old Glory Distillery and Clyde's of Clarksville when you go.

Heavy traffic on both side roads was very noisy higher than expected in this nice residential area. Seriously impacting our sleep. Also extremely small yard with no fencing did not allow the kids to play outdoors when taking into consideration the traffic described above.

Great family visit

We enjoyed our stay! We had to visit extended family for a week and some of us drove in from Nashville. Anything we needed, the owner responded right away and was helpful. Comfortable and clean home. Location was convenient to downtown Clarksville. We highly recommend! Thank you!

The house is great, but not for elderly people. The parking is not so great, but it worked. We had enough dishes and towels, a little short on wash cloths.

Holiday Stay

House was perfect. There’s 2 AC units (one upstairs and one downstairs). Master is downstairs with large closet and full bath which was nice because my parents are older, they didn’t have to go up and down the stairs. There’s also a half bath downstairs which was very convenient. Kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed plus a few nice surprises! Beds were very comfortable and place appeared to be new and of modern style. My only disappointment was the location. Depending on the way “maps” will bring you in, you’re either traveling through a not so great area, or you’re traveling through a really nice area. The house is located in the nicer area but can bring some hesitation when driving at night. We had zero issues and never felt in harms way, and ultimately the house was perfect and we would stay there again!

Interior was clean and comfy. Parking was very tight for 3 vehicles. Road noise was a problem and very load inside. We had an ant problem in the kitchen by the sink window but overall very comfortable for 8 people

Overall, the home was very clean and beautiful. It sat on the corner of the street, but it was a beautiful home. However, the ad says that there’s a bed in the couch and there is not there is an air mattress available, but there is not a sleeping area in the living room inside the couch like a couch bed. I would definitely book with them again, with the exception of a bedroom in living room area.
