The house was nothing like the picture. It was back in the woods beside an old house with trash piled and the porch and the bushes all grown around it. There was someone with a huge fire on the side of the yard. I was instantly afraid and we did not get out of our vehicle. It was terrible and I want my money back and I will never use vrbo again!!!!!
