James was responsive and accommodating during our stay. The rooms were clean and comfy and the kitchen seemed to be well stocked, however we did not use it to cook. The only thing I wanted to note was I did find thumb tacks and pieces of maybe balloon in the living room. Im glad I noticed before my dogs did!

Great property

This was a delightful property close to the Evansville Township High school. We stayed here for my son's college graduation. Everything was up to date and nicely appointed. I don't know that we would need to stay here again, but if we did I would definitely want to stay at this property.

James was very responsive to all questions we had. When we checked in, there was an issue with the downstairs bathroom. He addressed it very quickly, and had it fixed. Great place to call home for the week of Thanksgiving!
