We were a group of 7 adults and 3 babies. The place was really spacious and was more than enough for all of us. We liked the layout of the house with the open concept living, dining and kitchen. There's a bedroom downstairs but only a 1/2 bath downstairs (no shower). There is only 1 bathtub on the hallway bathroom and the main room bathroom had a big shower and a walk-in closet inside the bathroom. Main room has a single day bed with another single bed pull-out, which is perfect for a family with children. The other room is directly above the downstairs room and roughly the same size (pretty roomy, enough space for a pack and play crib).
Amenities are pretty bare, no hand soaps in bathrooms and only main room had some toiletries. Bare minimum on beddings and towels (one for each guest). No extra pillows or beddings if you get cold or throw blankets for the couch or bedrooms.
What we didn't like is that the main living area (pretty much the first floor) was dusty and not properly cleaned. There were wig hairs, floor was dusty and was not okay to walk without shoes on (which was not really nice when it's not dry outside). The couch was really gross, our toddler kept finding things underneath the couch (old candies, chewed gum, wrappers, and other things). Couch was full of stains, not just a stain here or there, it was pretty much the whole couch. The kitchen stuff was also not cleaned well (dirty dishes put away in the cabinets, we had to wash all of them) They also only provide 1 dishwasher soap so make sure to bring your own or buy more. We ended up going to Kroger (which is really close by) to buy soap, toiletries and other cleaning stuff so we can clean the place ourselves. We had a 3month old, 9month old, and a 3 yr old with us and needed the place to be clean for them to crawl around. When we arrived and parked the front lawn had overflowing garbage bins and some garbage on the ground and a hairball as you walked up to the front door.
We arrived around 6pm and it was after hours, but the next morning we informed the hosts and responded quickly and offered for them to clean again. I appreciated their quick response and their offered solution but we already cleaned the place and spent extra $ to get supplies. I also asked for something to cover the couch with and it was delivered (one flat sheet, not even enough to cover the entire couch). We were only staying for a few nights and with covid we didn't want more people to enter the rental. The hosts refunded us the cleaning fee but should have been also compensated for our time cleaning and buying our own supplies.
What was really dangerous was the broken window by the dining table. There were broken glass covered up with another glass or clear plastic taped to the broken window. I wish we were notified beforehand as we had babies that could've been injured by the broken window.
They also offer discounts to people who give a 5 star rating so that is probably what's helping the rating on this property.
It would've been a solid 4 stars for the place had it been clean even with the lack of toiletries and hand soap. We felt like this place was probably really nice in the beginning but now has pretty noticeable wear and tear possibly a combination of guests and a bigger cleaning crew so that the house can be thoroughly cleaned in the allotted time for the next guests to arrive.
Would stay again if the house is clean, couch replaced and window fixed.
