Home away from home
The property is great, cleans and very homey. It is equip with everything you need. If the lawn was mowed so we could sit around the fire pit it would have been the perfect place. Thank you for sharing your property with us!!!

Bare Minimum and Not Thoroughly Cleaned
The property was subpar at best. I am not sure if we were one of the first stays of the season or if the property was just not thoroughly cleaned after the last guests, but I was extremely unimpressed. We arrived late at night to a yard that had not been mowed, bird poop all over the deck and a bird flying around like it was going to attack us for disturbing it since its nest was on the deck that is used as the entrance to the apartment. When we got inside, the place was quaint and cute, but lacks proper maintenance and cleanliness. The kitchen cabinets are all falling off of the hinges. The oven has spilled food all inside of it and the utensils provided were all crusty from old food. The bed sheets had not been cleaned, the towels were crusty, and there was spilled food in the refrigerator. When I went to use the shower there was leftover soap still on the ground from the last person to use it. I was in true disbelief at all that went wrong with this seemingly cute place. The location was okay. It was off the beaten path of downtown (although downtown is not busy in the slightest). I hope you enjoy the smell of animal crap as that’s all that you can smell when you step outside the door as the apartment is surrounded by farms. It was right down the street from the lake which was a positive as we were able to enjoy the sunrise and sunset each day from the local park. Hopefully, our experience was just a one-off as this space could be great if cleaned and maintained.
