But please rest assured, each unit is 100% private with its own entrance, secure locks, parking places, etc.
Full access to entire house and walkout deck. Garage can be used for special circumstances for an additional fee.

We loved the open kitchen / great room with ample seating for our group to gather and stretch out. The four bedrooms were all comfortable and gave us individual privacy. Safe neighborhood in a convenient location. Thank you for opening your home to us!

We're so happy you had an enjoyable stay! Thanks for leaving the house clean and orderly. You are welcome to stay again and hope you will return one day soon.
Accommodations were great and the location was convenient for what we had planned. Only drawback was we didn't realize people lived in the lower level. We could hear them from the master bedroom.

JoAnn, we're so glad you enjoyed your stay. Just for clarification, the unit below is where my property manager and wife stay and they are ready to help with any need that may arise. It is a completely separate unit with it's own entrance, locks, doors, etc. There are no shared spaces whatsoever, but as in any duplex, there are times when low sounds are perceivable through the common wall. Hope this helps and we hope you will come back and stay at our property in the future!
This was a great place to stay for a family of 6. The house was spacious and very clean. There are tenants living in the basement I think, which was a surprise. Everything turned out well, and we were grateful for a nice place to stay.

Kristi,
The tenants you mentioned are my property managers and stay in a completely separate unit, it is not a basement. It has its own entrance from the back but each unit has its own locks and security. There are no shared spaces in the home. We're glad you had a nice stay and hope you will return! đź¤
Great location & clean as advertised. We were amazed at how much space this home offered. Beautiful kitchen & comfortable living room. There is a lower unit with tenants but we did not see nor hear them.

Thanks for your nice review. We do our best to please and we are so happy when guests enjoy their stay!
Very clean and spacious. Lots of room for numerous guests. Neighborhood was safe and we felt comfortable walking around at night. Do note that there is a tenant that lives below but we never heard them or saw them. I can't remember if it stated that on the original listing but it was not a problem at all! Definitely recommend staying here!

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy
We booked this home believing we had the entire property to ourselves. At no point in the listing did the host disclose that people live full time in the basement or that the driveway is shared. We only learned this after booking, and once we arrived it was immediately clear this was a shared living situation.Within 30 minutes of being inside the home, we could hear the people below us, especially in the ensuite bathroom. Knowing sound carries throughout the house made us uncomfortable, as we were traveling as a family and expected privacy. We never would have booked this property had this been disclosed upfront.After the host denied our cancellation request, we found the same listing on other sites with multiple reviews from other guests expressing the same concern about the lack of disclosure. The host responded defensively to those reviews, insisting it is not a shared property despite people living full time in the basement. The host did not apologize to us and instead stated that other guests have been fine with it.The home also does not appear equipped to support multiple households. After one shower, there was no hot water left for our children’s bath. Towels provided were child sized and dark colored, making cleanliness hard to assess, and there was no regular hand soap at the kitchen sink.While the main living space could accommodate our Christmas gathering, the lack of transparency made this stay stressful. Future guests deserve clear and honest information.

Thank you for expressing your concerns. The property is not shared, in that a "shared" property means that there are common spaces between two different parties, which is not the case here.
The property can be thought of as a duplex, the other unit has its own private floor, own private entrance, own parking, doors, locks, etc. Nothing is shared whatsoever.
The dear folks that rent the other unit full time are wonderful people, a family of three and actually help with some maintenance.
To avoid confusion, I have since updated the description so there is no confusion. I apologize for any misunderstandings.
