Seven of my family members stayed in your home. My son said you made the most of every possibility with that house. It was very accommodating. Everything they needed was there. The location was perfect. Close to everything they needed, including a grocery store. When in need, we will definitely contact you again. Thank you very much.

The property was perfectly located. close enough to get to all the places we needed and wanted to go, but far enough away we did not have the hustle of the city. Would love to stay here again.

They did not follow house rules. They had dogs in the house. They were smoking in the house. The dogs tore the curtains and they left dog droppings in the yard. There was dog hair on the couch I would not rent to them again.
