We had a wonderful stay! The property was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing visit. The location was convenient, and the host was responsive. We would definitely stay here again when we’re in the DeKalb area!
Diego went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful stay. Everything we needed was provided and then some! The house is beautiful and the beds are so comfortable! We would definitely stay again.
This is a no worries stay, they take care of everything. Diego communicates well. For some reason VRBO doesn't give you the entry information, but Diego is quick to respond. Toilets are slow sometimes, but do work. Have stayed twice now with our dogs and both times all went well!
House is very clean, comfortable and cozy. Beds were amazing! Couple items to note…. There are no rugs at the doors, entering with snow/wet shoes does create a mess (we made do by utilizing a blanket we had in our vehicle, capturing & containing snowy boots). No toaster or oven baking cookware (pans with wooden handles are available, but we were not comfortable baking in oven with). Again we made due, but cooking breakfast was a challenge. First VBRO we’ve stayed that did not offer an instruction sheet (no WiFi info, no tv instruction, check-out, ect). We’re of the senior discount status, so technology is not our forte. These hiccups did not deter our stay. If the opportunity arises to visit area again, we would definitely choose this beautiful home Communication & responses from host was timely.
