We ended up not staying here. Upon arriving, the upstairs bathroom floor had not been swept or mopped despite the host defending that it was. While the host was willing to resend a cleaning person to redo the dirty bathroom, their response was dismissive and belittling. The downstairs has a sunroom which collects a lot of heat in the middle of the day, and the two bedrooms downstairs do not have windows that open. There is no way for a cross breeze to cool the downstairs bedrooms. When we arrived in the late afternoon, the entire downstairs was uncomfortably hot. We opened the sliding glass door which cooled down the downstairs family room somewhat, but the downstairs bedrooms continued to retain the heat. Also, there is not a screen on the sliding glass door that would allow us to keep it open without fear of wildlife entering the house. The only possibility of airflow downstairs would remain shut most of the time. I would not recommend this to anyone.

Response from VrboOwner on 28 Jul 2026
It's interesting that the guest chose to leave such a poor a review as she gave us a different reason for leaving my property. They left very shortly after arriving and it wasn't for the reason she had in this review. I'll go ahead and explain what really happened. They didn't read the listing correctly prior to booking that we don't have AC in our home. It's stated very clearly on the listing in numerous areas that air conditioning is not an amenity. Upon arriving, she did mention that one bathroom didn't seem to be properly cleaned. I immediately called my crew and they were ready to come and take care of that right away. I apologized and provided a solution. They called me and kept the communication off of the VRBO messaging system to say the reason they were leaving is failing to recognize to the lack of AC, finding another house, which I understand. Same day cancellation does not warrant any type of refund but as a kind courtesy, I chose to partially refund several hundred dollars, which I certainly did not have to do. Prior to them cancelling I offered solutions to cooling the house since their quick assessment of our house was not accurate as far as how to take care of it when it's slightly warm. We understand they made a mistake in not securing a home with AC but they were ungrateful at my courtesy refund, blamed it on the bathroom in this review and to be honest, I'm very glad they didn't stay in my sweet home. We welcome kind, loving guests.

Great location. Quiet, beautiful, close enough to town to get groceries but far enough to be peaceful. Fully featured kitchen, great beds. Entertainment options galore.Loved the deck. Great place to spend an evening or a morning.
