Driving up to the property, it looked abandoned. As in the property needed a good clean up. Dead weeds everywhere. The gate/fence needed repaired and painted. Chairs on the front porch were full of holes and looked like they wouldnât hold any weight. Entering the house was easy as the lock was easy to use and the historic door was drool worthy. Heating didnât really work but the host was quick to respond to help us stay warm the second night. Kitchen was well stocked as well as the bathrooms. However, the upstairs bathroom needed some tlc as thereâs holes in the walls and layers of thick dust on the baseboards. Each bathroom needs new toilet seats as they looked like they went through world war 2. The beds ABSOLUTELY need changing out as they were cheap and flimsy. Every single review on this house states that the beds need updating and I 10000% agree. The twin bed bedroom had boogers stuck to the wall, But the queen bedroom was comfy cozy. Bedding was great as well as the pillow selection. Lightbulbs around the house were burnt out but thatâs not a huge deal breaker in my book. I wish I had gotten pictures but we were in a rush to move my parents out of their house the day of check out. All in all- If youâre looking for a cheap place to stay and youâre not staying for long, this is an ok place. Otherwise, spend the extra hundred and get a different place
Its a nice old house. Looks clean, but there are some shelves that were super dusty. Street parking was ok. Tiny upstairs bathroom with noisy exhaust. Overall stay was ok.
Laundry room had piles of either dirty or unfolded laundry. Bathrooms not too clean in corners/behind toilet was awful. Had to walk up to houses to find numbers. House itself it pretty cute but needs some cleaningFor sure.
Overall we enjoyed this stay. The location was great and the space worked very well for our family of 5. We fit comfortably, enjoyed game time, watched movies, and each person had their own space to sleep. Having 2 bathrooms was great, too! The house had a bad odor while we were staying signaling a possible plumbing problem. We were grateful for the air fresheners all around the house- sprays and plug-ins. It also seemed like some items were not stocked, such as dishwasher detergent. We stayed for 2 nights, and it worked for us for that time frame, but may have not enjoyed it if we were there longer.
The outside was not mowed Therr eas no light to see the house number cpming in after dark. Very much a trip hasserd. From the street yhrought thr gate and up the sidewalk yo thr porch. Non of which had any kind of light
This place was fine for what we needed. It was a good distance (driving) from any of the things we wanted to do (10 minutes or less to restaurant areas, 15 to Garden of the gods) but wasn't in a walkable area. Space had what you needed but not updated at all (this is clear from the pictures so i knew what we were getting. )
This was by far the worst experience Iâve had with vrbo type stays. The listing is fully misleading. Mainly being that there is no central ac & only 2 window units. One upstairs in queen bedroom & one in the kitchen. It was super hot end of June & we could hardly fall asleep. No curtains & therefore no privacy in the downstairs âbedroomâ which had double door glass window doors. The place was very rundown, stains on the window covering, bathroom was chipped everywhere, & the showers were much too short. One of our group is 6â7â & couldnât shower comfortably. The fridge is unlevel & there was dust on the shelves.Main issue was the âhostâ. He wasnt the owner but was the one that answered messages. He was fully unapologetic about the misleading listing & lack of AC. When the downstairs âneighborsâ came pounding on our door at 2 am &honking their horn excessively because they had a flight & needed me to move our car. I reached out &asked him to notify them of the parking rules, he told me I was in the wrong for parking in the driveway & they should honk& wakeup everyone at 2 AM. The rules stated that we could park in front of the house or in the driveway, but to not park in the driveway during business hours. I assumed whoever lived there needed to leave for work& passed along the rule to my group. The curb in front of the house is very tall &scraped the bottom of our rental, & only had room for two cars so we would park two in front & one in driveway. Save yourself& avoid!
We stayed here for my daughters graduation and chose it because we needed three bedrooms and we wanted to be close to her house and CC. It was an inexpensive stay for three bedrooms which was nice. The kitchen was well stocked and clean. The bathrooms were clean as well. The furniture in the upstairs bedrooms is very barebones and the beds were not very comfortable. That being said I realize that this was a very affordable option for our family. I would suggest new pillows at the very least. We did have a good stay, the house was quiet and mostly comfortable.
