We had a wonderful stay at this property. The home was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. Check-in was easy, and the host was responsive and helpful throughout our stay. The location was convenient, and the attention to detail in the home really stood out.The Viking room was especially memorable—it wasn't just a room, it was an experience. The décor and atmosphere transported us to another place and time, creating a unique and immersive feeling that made our stay even more special. It was clear that a great deal of thought and creativity went into designing it.We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would happily stay here again. Highly recommended!

This should not not be a vrbo. We did not have the whole place to ourselves. We had a room that was impossible to secure with a shared shower. We were there just long enough to call a nearby hotel and make a reservation. It really wasn’t was we were expecting.

Everything was great. Communication with the host was great. Directions were clear. Accommodations were comfortable. The only unexpected thing was the listing indicated there was a shower, but there was no shower or bath.

We had problems with the lock when we came in & didn’t really use the pool. Possibly would suggest a gate so it is easier to get the yard. Other than that it was clean & not a bad location.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in
Disliked: Listing accuracy
When description reads ‘whole house’ and ‘Viking master bath room’ and photos show a stack of towels I would expect a bath or shower. It is at the point that guests have to dig to find the scam. I felt slapped in the face. We came in tired and unwell. The towels were for show. No shower, no tub, not even a wash cloth to wash our face. We left the next morning to get a motel so we could bathe before we left town. There were also people smoking right outside our door so no fresh air. I’ve learned a lesson. Get a decent motel.
