Cute and Clean Place

The house was very clean and is located downtown of Etowah. The house is older, but nicely remodeled. A plus is the fenced in backyard for pets. Communication with the owner was very easy and prompt. No complaints here.

I'm sorry having an "owner's / host closet" made your stay only 4 stars. I was surprised by this review, as we also gave you a 3 hour early check in with no fee. I will update the listing to show there is an "owner's/host closet" that is not accessible to guests. Thank you

It was very comfy and just unique and homey. The fenced yard was a plus since we had a dog. The bed was comfy. I would stay there again should I be in the area.
