I stayed here with my daughter for three weeks while my house was being renovated. This house is located on the loudest street in America, and people constantly walk through the yard. The floors are so dirty that you couldn’t even walk around in your socks without them turning black. The beds were very uncomfortable, and contrary to what the listing said, there were no children’s books, toys, or games. This house was made for animals, not people.

Good stay...
Had problems with the automatic code on the front door...The owner did respond and helped but he needs someone closer with a backup key to get in. Place was great other than that. Clean.. Close to everything in the Shoals. Being locked out for a while after being gone all day was frustrating...But the owner did respond.

Very Clean and Updated
This house was nicely updated and very clean. The fenced in backyard was perfect for my dogs. We were staying there for my son’s college fishing tournament, so it was perfect for what we needed.
