I had my Golden Birthday Party at this house and it was super cute and clean! It looks small on the outside, but very spacious on the inside! It’s located in an old neighborhood but this house was one of the only updated houses around! It was updated on the outside and the inside.

Thank you for choosing our home to celebrate your golden birthday!!! Y'all were a pleasure to host 🦋
Just want to thank the host for taking care of a group of healthcare workers that needed a cozy place to stay! She made sure we had every thing we needed and made sure if we didnt have it she could order it.
Host was very responsive. House was clean! Great experience! They may be fairly new to this, but rental has great potential.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness
Bedrooms: some bedrooms had no curtains, and the ones that did had only one panel so they didn't cover the window fully. The beds in the queen rooms one was way to hard and the other way to soft. Cleanliness: the house had a general clean feeling but floors were dirty and the yard had clutter piled in one corner like old furniture. Sides of toilets were dirty. Location: was great quite and calm area. Host:Listing stated no hidden fees we were charged extra for having a baby shower within the max amout of guest allowed. She was quick with her response time. back door handle was broken and she did offer to come fix it. Comfort: We felt uncomfortable due to closets not having doors on hinges, the windows not having curtains and dirty stains that we had to clean up. I'e felt as if they would charge us for thing already broken in the home.

Linda and her guest were great however I would recommend that on her next stay she respects other people’s homes and does not use any dishes from the kitchen to feed her dogs come on bring your dog bowls and also that she is honest with the amount of dogs she’s bringing because on her reservation initially she did not list any pets and after finding out she was bringing 2 which I was OK with she ended up bringing an additional two, which was a total of 4 dogs. There was a complete mess of hair everywhere throughout the house, and she also did not clean up after her dogs there was poop throughout the entire yard and even damaged my sliding door there was scratches that didn’t come off from the dogs nails, jumping up and down with endless amounts of slobber all over.
