A pet friendly place that fit our needs perfectly. While in the Irish hills for a wedding, the house served our needs with a straight forward place to sleep just minutes from the venue. The fenced in back yard is a massive plus for pet owners while multiple TVs and a closet full of board games can entertain in the case of a rainy day. Absolutely will look to stay here again the next time we make the trip to the gorgeous Irish hills region.

Was an extremely comfortable home. The location was perfect for us to visit family in Saline and Brooklyn. So many great restaurants to pick from in the area. We definitely would book this location again on our next visit to the area.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! We found the space to be more than ample for two people. The bed was comfortable and the central air theromstat was easy to control. All communication with our host (Lauren) was immediate and helpful. The appliances were in good condition and simple to operate.We were too busy to take advantage of the well-stocked living room closet holding board games and books. A family looking for a relaxing week at the lake will find plenty of activities for a rainy day.

Nice and safe location, nice accommodations and very responsive and polite host. Comfy bed bonus! House was everything we needed and more. The lake nearby is really beautiful and easy to walk to and around. We were in the area for an event at Sasha Farms, which is only about a 10 minute drive Would highly recommend you check them out also. Thank you to Lauren for everything and we look forward to staying again in August. :)

It was the perfect home for a nascar weekend. Only 10 minutes from the track. There are 2 beds and a futon that could sleep 2 in the living room. It has a laundry machine as well. The host went over the top for us to find us a ride to the track and made sure we made it safe and accommodated us in multiple ways since we've never been here. 11/10 recommend. We hope to be back again next year.

Irish hills

Many things to do in the immediate area.Overall this little home was perfect for a long weekend to go to the MIS speedway and visit family. Home was clean and comfortable for our stay. Only negative is this property on VRBO says it has A/C and it does not!No instructions for leaving the property ...example, taking out trash, stripping beds..etcA little quicker response time to any inquiry would be nice.Overall i gave it a 4/5

Lack of communication caused us to wait at the property for a few hours without being able to get inside. The house was also unclean and had dirty laundry from previous guests. Home owner did give a small refund due to this.

There was a miscommunication about arriving early and the cleaning person skipped the cleaning. The host ghosted us immediately. No solution was attempted (like at least sending the cleaning people the next day or sending someone to fix the air. We had to clean the toilet and rest of bathroom with whatever cleaning supplies we could find. We had 1 wash cloth for two people as the rest were used by the previous renter. We had to strip the beds and what we believe were extra sheets were wadded up in the closet and smelled musty. We are still not sure if we slept on clean sheets. Also the air was not working but luckily the night was cool and we were able to open windows.I was never so glad to get home and get in the shower.Much of this could have been overlooked if the host would have tried to help instead of hiding from us.

What a lovely little home! We booked a weekend trip last minute and this is exactly what we needed. The house is very cozy & comfortable! The fenced in yard was perfect for our basset hound to zoom. The house has two bedrooms and a futon in the living room. The beds are very comfortable and we enjoyed relaxing and watching movies in the living room. The kitchen is stocked with necessities and only has a Keurig, so if you are used to a drip coffee pot - bring yours along! The area and is safe and there is plenty to do. I would recommend checking out Hidden Lake Gardens - So much beauty! Our host, Laura, was so helpful! I would recommend staying at this cozy little home - It is perfect for a little R&R time or exploring the beauty the area brings!

Thanks so much, Rachael! You and the pup are welcome anytime! Thanks so much for the thoughtful basset hound coffee mug. I will make sure to add a drip coffee maker. Appreciate the suggestion. Have a great rest of your summer!
