Great centralized place for attractions in Kentucky and into Ohio. The host was quick and attentive to respond to questions, and we slept on some very comfortable beds. If we're in the area we would definitely stay again.

This is a very nice rental with a pool. Clean and spacious for 6 people to stay. Convenient to many attractions and restaurants etc. Grocery stores in reasonable distance. Host was very helpful, parking is adequate for 2 cars. Only thing that would have been helpful is a binder or message sheet on the refrigerator to explain WiFi and rules for stay including what to do with bedding/towels, trash etc. {we had trouble with our personal email so had difficulties but the host was very helpful via text. We could have used baking pans for cooking meals in the oven. Some of the walls are scuffed up so could use some touch up paint. There is pool towels available which is very nice. The area under the deck was kind of messy with some broken things and tall weeds which was not a nice sight for the window looking out of the lower bedroom. The pool was very clean though and warm from the sunshine. Overall very nice renta.

The house was as described and we enjoyed the pool on the hot summer nights. The beds were comfortable and the home was clean. We did have 2 issues though. First was the home was not ready for us at check in time. We had to wait outside while the cleaning crew finished up. Second, the air conditioner went out our first night there. I messaged the management about it at 8AM. We were promised their technician would be out early afternoon to fix it. That did not happen. After several messages at 3PM, 5pm, and 6PM, we were going to leave and find somewhere else to stay. It was approaching 90 degrees in the home. The maintenance tech showed up as we were preparing to leave. It was terrible service considering it was 96 degrees that day and we were not offered any compensation for the issue.
