This was our first VRBO experience, the whole process was professional, easy to find, the house is adorable, and we will be booking this again! Thanks!
Great location, close to everything. Really enjoyed hanging out on “The Hill “. Easy access to major highways. The house was great and everything was exactly what we needed. We will stay again.
It was cute. They had little things that made it convenient like ketchup in the fridge and toiletries. The location was great. It’s only a few minute drive to several cool places to visit like City Museum or the zoo. Check in was very easy. Overall, I would stay again.
Nice home for myself and my family to stay at for a week for Thanksgiving! Checkin process was easy and when I did need assistance the owner was quick to respond. I am 6'7 and the ceiling in the basement is low I hit my head several times at night extremely hard and the doorways and the shower is small not just for me but my partner who is a normal size lol. Did not take away from my score its not the house fault I am 6'7 but keep that in mind if you are tall person! I would not stay again for this reason but it was a cozy home!
