The house was beautifully decorated and so comfortable. The neighborhood was wonderfully quiet. We really appreciated the Keurig and fully stocked kitchen. The weather was cold and windy, but the house kept us warm. Also, we got a quick answer to our stupid question asking where the garbage bin was even though it was prominently situated at the side of the house!

The house and host were wonderful! The only suggestion would be to offer a hairdryer as that’s pretty much standard in most hotels. That wouldn’t deter me from staying there again though!

This was an excellent stay for so many reasons; great communication with the host (Lori) who answered all questions we had prior to arrival. The 5 beds between the 4 bedrooms were comfortable, and there was a TV in every room. The living room is large with a huge sectional sofa that seated our group of 5 comfortably. The Roku TV in the living room was great, we were able to log into our various accounts (HBO, Netflix, and MLB network) with no issues. The Wifi was easy to connect to and plenty fast for streaming. The back deck has a large table with patio umbrella and a gas grill that we used 2 of the nights. The kitchen is large with a French door refrigerator that held all of the food we packed for the week easily. The location was absolutely perfect, this was a golf trip for us and the house was within 30 minutes of every course we played. We definitely recommend Kokopelli and Hickory Ridge golf courses. The house is also only 5 minutes away from Walmart and Kroger which are right next to each other. We also liked that the flooring throughout the house was tile and vinyl, no carpet at all, so if you had kids or pets on your trip, clean-up for spills and messes would be easy. I don't have a single criticism for this home, we're so glad we chose it and would do so again.

Very comfortable, clean home, spacious,lots of room, quiet. We loved staying there. It was just what we needed as our adult child is disabled and in a wheelchair so the home was completely accessible, no stairs. Would highly recommend this home..

Nice and convenient stay

There aren't a lot of options in this area and this house was very nice. The beds aren't the most comfortable, but the house is well outfitted and in a nice area. Owners were very responsive and easy to work with. We would stay here again for sure.
