We had a great stay. Martin is a very responsive and gracious host. The house is walking distance to restaurants and shops. Much more comfortable than a hotel. Dog friendly too!

I usually stay in hotels, so this was my first VRBO experience. I really recommend especially when travelling with family. It was great to have our own spaces and a full kitchen.

Great stay! My son and a friend needed a place to stay during their third week of lineman school. This place was perfect. It was close to Calhoun Lineman School and near plenty of restaurants for take out. It was clean, comfy, and safe. The kitchen does need a tea pitcher. That seemed to be the only item my son needed during his stay. We would definitely recommend this home to friends and family. Check in was easy.

The host never responded to my messages. Lots of bugs… inside the home. We never even brought in our suitcases. Absolutely the worst experience.
