Historic Greendale Original within short walking distance of the quaint village

Thank you Beth! Beth and her friend Wendy were amazing guests. They followed all house rules, had good communication and left my home if great condition. I would love to have them as guests again!

Thank you Shelly! Glad you enjoyed your stay. It was wonderful having you. Hoping for a speedy recovery!

I am so glad you enjoyed your stay! Thank you for the wonderful review. I agree, it is such a cute area. Also, thank you for being such kind, conscientious guest and taking such good care of my home. I would welcome you back anytime. Safe travels!

Thank you Jill. I was not aware that the bedroom tv did not work. Is it possible you unplugged it when you unplugged the router and modem? I just left the property a few days before you arrived after living there for over 3 months and the tv was working perfectly. I wish you had told me that because I could have remedied that during your stay. My home is historic in the original section of Greendale, built in 1938 and that is just how the streets were constructed back then. Obviously, that is something out of my control. Because of the block wall construction, that is the only wall where there is a cable outlet. I live on the property for several months of the year and have not had a problem with the light by covering the modem and router with a towel to keep the room dark. Thank you for your feedback and being such a great guest!

Thank you Ronald for your review. I am so sorry that my home did not have the special accommodations that you needed as a senior. My listing is very honest. The photos are true. The listing states it is just over 600 square feet which is small so it would be safe to assume that the bathroom would be small. I always check in with my guests prior to booking to make sure that all of their questions are answered and you did not ask me anything about the size of the bathroom, if there was a grab bar and the height of the furniture or toilet. I would gladly have described that to you prior to booking. Also, there are many pictures of the property and you can see the height of the toilet and that there is no grab bar in the shower. I do not have recliners because I advertise the futon as extra sleeping space. With vacation rentals, owners have a right to set their policies for what is best for their properties and the neighborhood. The "no visitor" policy is clearly stated on the listing and it is to be respectful of my neighbors. For the future, I'm sure owners would prefer that you ask these questions prior to booking. Safe travels!

Comfortable overstuffed chair with ottoman (may be too low for seniors). Futon couch offers extra sleep space and suitable height for all ages. Condiments, coffee and non-perishable items are left in the fridge for guest use. All perishable food items are removed prior to each new guest's stay. Owner lives on the property part of the year so non-perishable food items are provided for guest use (flour, sugar, tea, etc). As clearly stated in the listing, antenna tv is provided and there is not cable. There is a smart tv in the bedroom and a fire stick in the living area which provides all guests to use streaming services of their choice. House rules and check out requirements are stated in listing for potential guests to review. Communication regarding check in and check out information is automatically sent through the website messaging system to all guests for proper tracking. I am happy to text in addition to this if guests prefer.

Thank you Marc for your feedback. You are the first of any of my guests to have responded that way to house rules. Many VRBO owners have specific rules and regulations because these are our homes and our property and not hotel accommodations. I personally live on my property half the year so I’m very particular of its care. I’ve had guests in the past who have not respected my property causing extra expense for damages, repairs, time for cleaning etc. My house rules are posted on the website for all to see you prior to booking so all is transparent as far as what is expected of my guests. When I started this endeavor my rules were much more simple but it became very eye-opening how some guests will not respect your property. I also feel that it’s important to be respectful to the neighbors. It sounds like some of these little things should not have to be spelled out but I find it necessary in order to be able to keep my home in good order and ready for the next guest. I have had excellent reviews all throughout the three years that I have been a host. I do hope though that you enjoyed your stay and will take to heart your feedback.

Thank you Jeff! I am so glad you enjoyed your stay and I am dedicated to making it a good experience for my guests. You were an excellent and thoughtful guest.

Thank you Judy! I enjoyed having you as a repeat guest. I am so glad you enjoyed your stay. It was a pleasure hosting you and thanks to you and your husband for going above and beyond as guests!

Thank you Marilynn for your kind review! I am so glad you enjoyed your stay!

Thank you Jim! It was so great to host you! You were a perfect guest. Would be so happy to have you stay again anytime!

Thank you for the kind words. I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay. I truly take pride in the community of Greendale which is where I grew up. It was a pleasure to open my home to all of you.

Thank you Kimberly! I'm glad you enjoyed your stay!

Thank you Marygael! It is a very special area and there is nothing like the friendliness of neighbors and friends in this town! I am so glad you enjoyed your stay!

Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay. You were a wonderful guest. The only reason I gave you a four out of five stars for house rules was because the kitchen window was left open after you checked out. I would be happy to host you again. Safe travels!

Thank you so much Joann for that glowing review. Yes, Greendale is a gem! We moved there when I was a baby and I lived there all through high school. It has a very special place in my heart and I am so thrilled that I can own an “original“. I am sorry you weren’t able to get your trailer through the narrow street but I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay and that it all worked out well. Would be happy to have you at again as a guest anytime!
