We stayed at the Viking House with friends for the MotoAmerica races at Road Atlanta. The way it’s decorated in the Viking themes even with overhead lighting, wall items etc is really cool. Plenty of parking, communication with the host is top notch. Close to plenty of restaurants and around 11 miles to the track. We would stay again.

Perfect Place

We had a great stay! Everything was exactly as described and perfectly clean. The location is close to everything you need in Gainesville but still in a quiet neighborhood! We used this for family who came for thanksgiving and will probably use it again!

Exactly what we needed

We were in Gainesville due to a family member being in the hospital. This house was the perfect location and set up for what we needed. Communication with Chris was awesome and he was extremely helpful when we needed to book an extra night. Plus, we got to see numerous deer every day!

Lovely home in Great area of Gainsville

We enjoyed staying in this lovely home in Gainesville. The area is convenient to parks, lake and nature trails in the area. A short trip to shopping and the downtown area. The house is clean and adequately furnished. We especially enjoyed the visits from the wildlife in the area. Lots of deer grazing and birds every morning and evening.

Sept.23-27 - MacPherson Stay

Excellent stay in Gainesville! The check-in process was seamless, making our arrival stress-free. Chris, the host, was incredibly supportive and easy to communicate with throughout our stay. The house itself was immaculately clean and featured stylish, up-to-date decor. If you're looking for a VRBO in the Gainesville area, I strongly recommend booking with Chris. You won't be disappointed!

Week long stay

Nice house, quiet and safe neighborhood. Easy access to local attractions. We enjoyed having access to the garage (but a garage opener to use for the car would be nice). AC was excellent, despite hot weather. Could use more kitchen supplies, we bought a colander and left it in the pantry to aide the cause!

Restful Night

Getting an accurate access code took 4 attempts, making it a bit frustrating. The house was spacious and in a safe, quiet neighborhood. There were no blinds in the bathrooms, there was a blood stained coverlet on a bed, so we did not use that room. The kitchen had 2 chipped coffee cups. Overall our stay was pleasant and relaxing.

I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced with the access code, and I will be reviewing our check-in process to ensure a smoother experience in the future. I also appreciate you bringing the other concerns to my attention—cleanliness and comfort are very important to us, and I will be addressing these matters with our team immediately. I'm glad to hear that, overall, you found the home spacious, safe, and relaxing. We truly value your input and hope to have the opportunity to host you again with an improved experience

Great house

This house was very nice. The home well accommodated 6 people. It was modern and well appointed. My only criticism is that there were no blinds in the house. The main bathroom window had no blinds or curtains, so you were completely exposed when showering. Also, the kitchen was sparsely furnished - very few dishes and cookware. But overall was a great house.

Georgia tournament

The location was perfect. Nice quiet neighborhood and we saw deer. The home was comfortable, just not well stocked in kitchen. There were 6 of us and only 2 forks and 1 spoon. Thankfully I had some disposable we could use. Also, it would be a plus if the owner would invest $10 for blinds in the downstairs bathroom. It is facing the street and front porch and who likes to sit on the commode in view of anyone walking up. The upstairs bathrooms didn’t have coverings on the windows either.

House Keeping needs to do better

My major complaint was about the cleanliness of the house. There was a sticky brown mess outside the front door and a spot of whatever that was, was on the first step going upstairs. HAIR.....Hair was everywhere, under the bed, on the bathroom floor, on the shower wall. Not acceptable. Then we had to deal with the shower floor leaking out onto the bathroom floor.

Thank you for your feedback. I sincerely apologize for the cleanliness issues you encountered during your stay—this is not the standard we strive for. I have addressed this with our cleaning team to ensure it does not happen again. Additionally, I appreciate you bringing the shower leak to our attention; we are actively working on resolving it. Your input helps us improve, and I hope we have the opportunity to provide you with a much better experience in the future

Stay away - they double booked us

We booked the Viking House months in advance for a family reunion. When we arrived at the house, we used our door code and discovered there were other guests still at the property. We were told by the property manger that we could not stay. After several phone calls and lots of arguing, the property manager finally offered another house but it was over an hour drive away. Then they directed us to get a hotel but it was going to cost us double the price of the house. We did get a refund but had to find our own place to stay. I no longer have trust in VRBO.
