Chris, the host, was available on the day we checked in to answer questions and to offer assistance. The reason for this rating is the lack of amenities that I think most people have come to expect, such as a roll of paper towels in the kitchen, and soap in the kitchen and bathrooms. We had to purchase those things on our own. Some of the towels were stained. We found a few creepy crawlies on the floor of the house when we checked in. There are not curtains on the master bathroom window (which is large and in front of the toilet and shower). There are fly traps hung throughout the house, which is probably a plus in the summer but not very attractive. On a positive note, we liked the neighborhood and location and felt safe.

Why they chose this property

The home sits 2 miles from downtown Macon, in the wooded Shirley Hills District of Macon. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989, the streets are safe for walking dogs and children. Shirely Hills also is an established Bird Sanctuary. It sits east of the Ocmulgee River. There is a small park at the start of the neighborhood with a walking trail and stream called Jackson Springs Park. Ocmulgee Mounds National Historic Park is just under 3 miles, and Amerson River Park is just over 1 mile. The 13 mile Ocmulgee Heritage Trail parking at Spring Street and boat ramp are also within a couple miles of the house. The property has a fully fenced yard, wooded, and great for your furry family members and kids. Keep your eyes open!! You probably will see deer.
