Safe escape
We were evacuating from a hurricane and this house was a safe place to stay. All necessities were there, but it IS an older home and comes with all that entails. Creaky floors and settling noises. Doors were not air tight, so on the warmer nights bugs were abundant and able to get in. The location was nice, although not near anything. Fenced in yard was good for the dog. Neighbor was very nice and helpful when we had issues with a lock. any really

Good Place for Family/Friend Gathering
Booked this place for some friends and I. Plenty of space for 6 to 8 people, solid entertainment room added on the back of the house. We did have to clean some of the appliances that were dirty in some hard to reach spots but other than that, it was a good find for the area and our contact for the property was very responsive.

Very comfortable house and Shirley was great!
The only negative is that the master bed room was vey cold I ended up getting bronchitis. I would definitely rent again, but bring a small heater for the master bedroom during winter months.
Great home for family gathering.

We travel often for work and finding a comfortable place for multiple people can be hard. Shirley’s place worked like a charm. Very clean, comfortable and easy to find. Shirley was quick to respond and easy to communicate with. We will definitely book again in the future.

Quiet weekend getaway
This property appeared to be well maintained. The property manager was very pleasant and very responsive to our needs. It was great to have the pool table which was a big part of entertainment for us. The neighborhood was very quiet and great for walks. Family get together here vs. hotel stay. We would definitely love to visit here again especially since it was in reasonable distance to Veteran State park. Residents very friendly despite the times. Thanks for an enjoyable weekend!

Great weekend in Albany
Thank you for sharing your lovely house with us for our girl’s weekend. Your house was the perfect place for the 4 of us to talk, visit, sleep and eat. We all were very pleasantly surprised at how clean and orderly everything was. The proximity to downtown Albany and surrounding area gave us several choices for meals and no fear of coming in after dark. If I am ever in the Albany area again I would definitely want to stay in your house and will recommend it to my friends.
