The house was very clean and well-kept. The bathroom is very nice as well. It's just a nice little home, and we would not hesitate to stay there again. Jolley is a tiny little town similar to the town I grew up in just a short distance away. We also took advantage of Twin Lakes which is just a few miles away. Good experience!

Working with Travis was wonderful and check in was easy. Extremely small town, nice and quiet. Everything was as described. They were just a couple of small issues which were taken care of right away.I would definitely recommend this house.

Mixed review
We liked the place and location; but it needs some maintenance done. Also, we didn't appreciate paying 70 for cleaning and then being told we must clean up dusty's abd step beds. being

Quick stay
We needed to make a quick visit to the area for a funeral. The owner was kind, considerate, and accommodating. We will return when we visit Twin Lakes with our dogs!

Small town hidden treasure
Super clean, newly remodeled but kept much of the original charm. Nice, comfortable beds, pillows, linens. We didn't bring our fur kids, bit food to know they are welcome -- even horses! Highly recommend and would stay again. Thanks!
