Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
This is a very spacious home with 3 large living areas and 5 nice sized bedrooms, all with queen sized beds. All bedrooms were well equipped with everything you need to be comfortable; extra pillows and blankets, nightstands, dressers, chairs. All 3 bathrooms were very clean with plenty of towels and hot water. The kitchen had everything we needed for our stay. The backyard is very secluded and beautiful, with plenty of seating for our group on the large deck. The house was located in the perfect place for our stay, close to town for what we needed but yet out of town on a very private lot with no neighbors that you can see. We were very thankful for the large garage to be able to park our vehicles. The TV and Alexa were easy to run. Checking in was seamless, the host had great communication, and checking out was simple. We appreciated not having a long list of "must do before you go", just a few simple items like take out the trash. We will definitely rent this home if we are ever in the area again with our large group. Thank you, Matt, for renting us your home.
