Cute renovation in a fringe neighborhood, the home backs up to a nearby jail and has a mold and mildew smell likely from flooding in a crawl space or basement, if you have allergies to mold this is not your place. We are from a dry climate so it was noticeable at entry and after you leave you will notice the smell sticks with you. The host was responsive and helpful in fixing minor items not ready upon arrival.

Response from VrboOwner on Oct 27, 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you found the renovation charming and appreciated our responsiveness during your stay. We do want to clarify a few points for future guests. The property does not back up to a jail, and that statement is factually incorrect. In fact, there is nothing behind our property to the side of our property but large open space. Additionally, while we take any concerns about odors or moisture seriously, there has been no confirmed mold issue or flooding at the property. We would appreciate guests distinguishing between personal observations and unverified assumptions about the home’s condition. We work hard to provide a clean, comfortable, and welcoming experience for every guest and remain committed to promptly addressing any concerns brought to our attention.

The house was very nice just needs a deep cleaning. Lots of spider webs and dead bugs. Everything else was very nice. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need.The "man cave" garage was nice. It was very hot outside and no ac in the garage so pretty warm in there. Also needed a good cleaning. Lots of spiders and webs. Nice pool table and air hockey.

Our stay was good and the property was as describe. We were in town for a weeding so we didn’t spend a lot of time hanging out at the house. Game room was cool and wish we had more time to enjoy it. Could use a few more bathroom and kitchen linens, but other than that we would definitely stay here again.

The home was very nicely decorated, very clean and in a great location at the end of a street. The backyard is very beautiful where you can hang out and enjoy being outside. The game room is a great touch and would have been used more if we would have been in town longer. Enough space for our family. Great and quick communication by property owner/manager. Location was close to University of Evansville where we spent most of our time for baseball.

Fun time!

Check in was easy, host was very nice and welcoming and allowed us to stay an extra night. The only issue is the game room was filled with bugs and spiderwebs but we cleaned it out and it was alright. Overall amazing stay!

Nice place for the most part. It’s an older home that has been renovated with new touches. The house could have been cleaner. We found a lot of dead bugs. There was dirt/dust under beds and TV stand. It would be nice if there was a way to get AC in the game room. The thermostat was initially set to keep reverting to a program which made it get really hot the first night we were there. The host responded to my message quickly about to how fix that. The beds were comfy. Overall it was a nice place, but maybe a little expensive for what you get. The 170 cleaning fee is crazy considering how clean the place was.
