Early Family Thanksgiving
The stay was fun. The lead up to the stay was much to be desired. The host never returned any questions messages/phone calls. We did not know check in information until 75 minutes prior. Traveling 4 hours made it stressful as how did we know if we would ever get the info. Had we known the 75 minute guideline we would not have postponed our stay by a day. Paid for three nights stayed only two.

The house was double booked
The house was double booked and we didn’t find out until a few hours before the reservation, which was totally disrespectful to us coming on a vacation and we had to spend extra money even though we were receiving the funds that we had to spend extra money to go get a expensive hotel and wait for the money from the housing to come back on Monday we get we didn’t get any conversation which we highly deserved. I’m going to corporate on this issue. my email is joshuahoyle1989@yahoo.com

Served the purpose to accommodate 8 adults. The photos represent the unit on a high level. Solely a rental with no attention to upkeep. Sparsely decorated (which I liked). Sheets and towels were clean but old. Rugs had not been washed or cleaned (maybe ever). We laughed at the “Clean Me” on the stove vent. Dishwasher was hanging out of cabinet. Notified property manager - was not fixed as promised. Not a gross place to stay - just not one I would stay in again.
