The home was very nicely decorated, very clean and in a great location at the end of a street. The backyard is very beautiful where you can hang out and enjoy being outside. The game room is a great touch and would have been used more if we would have been in town longer. Enough space for our family. Great and quick communication by property owner/manager. Location was close to University of Evansville where we spent most of our time for baseball.

Our stay was good and the property was as describe. We were in town for a weeding so we didn’t spend a lot of time hanging out at the house. Game room was cool and wish we had more time to enjoy it. Could use a few more bathroom and kitchen linens, but other than that we would definitely stay here again.

awesome place

Stay was fantastic. A few things to note.-the buckets holding the light poles in the back hold water and will bread mosquitos, you should drill a drain hole in them.-pool table is way out of level-should hang curtains on front door and kitchen window-air freshener in the garage/game roomThese are very small improvements you could make and increase the experience even more.Great place would stay again

Nice stay in a clean, well appointed remodeled home. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen had what we needed including a Keurig for coffee. Side by Side fridge with ice maker. No issues with entry or WiFi. Home is in an older neighborhood. It is close to Diamond Diner with classic diner vibes where we a very good breakfast. Garage has a great game area. Unfortunately this trip was in January and It was a little too cold to hang out. Just an FYI, the driveway has a steep incline and is pretty narrow. Lower riding cars or large trucks might have an issue. There is street parking.
