This is one of the best VRBO’s I have ever visited. What a cute little home and it’s conveniently located, clean and neat, and somewhat secluded. I will definitely stay here again.

Met the owner and he was a very nice man. We stayed in on Thursday morning to let WIFI people change a router. We were given a discount for the day. Thought we would stay an extra day and paid for an extra but then decided to leave because of rain. The house and location are perfect.

Everything was nice but I would suggest new pans and utensils. Master bedroom could use a new mattress. Location was great. It was nice to have paper products already there. We would rent it again.

Great location

Close to Harrah’s. Neat and clean house. Needs more kitchen supplies (pots & pans, utensils , potholders). One of the chairs on side porch has an arm that’s not connected to chair, with screws/nails exposed. I reported to property management our last stay, but it had not been fixed. I would definitely recommend and stay here again!

This property looked clean and well maintained in surface but was not deeply cleaned or sanitary. There was a huge lack of kitchenware and cookware available to use.

The kitchen is significantly under stocked. After fixing a bean dish on one of the stove eyes, we wanted to serve it in a dish that was microwaveable…no serving bowls period, to my recollection.One of the eyes on the stove needs attention. It appeared as though the outer coil worked, but not the inner coil.

Fourth of July get away

Plenty of room nice clean place. Internet didn’t work they came and fixed right away. House is clean but the king bed is a nightmare the side dips so bad you feel like you’ll fall off so my husband slept on the couch during our stay. I do wish kitchen was more equipped mixing bowl better pans and silverware that doesn’t feel like plastic. Now don’t get me wrong it’s a great place just be prepared if your cooking. We love this area it’s convenient to everything

At first was upset but they made it right

When I got there the house was uncleaned and nasty. I made a phone call and they were [very concerned and had a cleaning lady come out at 7 pm to clean house. Other than that it was great.

Concert weekend

The house was clean. Great location. Driveway is skinny but fine. The bathrooms are very nice. The house needs to be updated. The bed's squeak was terrible in both rooms. The floor was soft in so many spots there is a terrible transition spot from kitchen to den and is a hazard. The front door in to the house needs a rug on the inside that is no slip. We almost fell several times do to the wetness and the. Hitting the tile floor. Overall the stay was fine for the price. The musty smell started to subside after the second day.
