Was an extremely comfortable home. The location was perfect for us to visit family in Saline and Brooklyn. So many great restaurants to pick from in the area. We definitely would book this location again on our next visit to the area.

Nice and safe location, nice accommodations and very responsive and polite host. Comfy bed bonus! House was everything we needed and more. The lake nearby is really beautiful and easy to walk to and around. We were in the area for an event at Sasha Farms, which is only about a 10 minute drive Would highly recommend you check them out also. Thank you to Lauren for everything and we look forward to staying again in August. :)

It was the perfect home for a nascar weekend. Only 10 minutes from the track. There are 2 beds and a futon that could sleep 2 in the living room. It has a laundry machine as well. The host went over the top for us to find us a ride to the track and made sure we made it safe and accommodated us in multiple ways since we've never been here. 11/10 recommend. We hope to be back again next year.

Many things to do in the immediate area.Overall this little home was perfect for a long weekend to go to the MIS speedway and visit family. Home was clean and comfortable for our stay. Only negative is this property on VRBO says it has A/C and it does not!No instructions for leaving the property ...example, taking out trash, stripping beds..etcA little quicker response time to any inquiry would be nice.Overall i gave it a 4/5

Lack of communication caused us to wait at the property for a few hours without being able to get inside. The house was also unclean and had dirty laundry from previous guests. Home owner did give a small refund due to this.

There was a miscommunication about arriving early and the cleaning person skipped the cleaning. The host ghosted us immediately. No solution was attempted (like at least sending the cleaning people the next day or sending someone to fix the air. We had to clean the toilet and rest of bathroom with whatever cleaning supplies we could find. We had 1 wash cloth for two people as the rest were used by the previous renter. We had to strip the beds and what we believe were extra sheets were wadded up in the closet and smelled musty. We are still not sure if we slept on clean sheets. Also the air was not working but luckily the night was cool and we were able to open windows.I was never so glad to get home and get in the shower.Much of this could have been overlooked if the host would have tried to help instead of hiding from us.
