We enjoyed our stay overall, and the location was absolutely perfect! We had a great time and really Positive: Location was excellent, kitchen was open and had 2 refrigerators to accommodate a large party. Negative: Property could be a little more clean, need tvs in the extra bedrooms, the “gameroom” has 1 arcade game and beds, but no bathroom downstairs and the a/c did not work down there.

To easily summarize: FILTHY. I've tolerated some mildly dirty AirBnb stays over the years, but this one takes the cake after the cockroaches have climbed all over it. This place didn't even clean on a basic level. The floors were already dirty when we walked in, the fridge smelled fishy, the dishwasher smelled like sewage, one of the showers already had a hairball on the drain. The bathtub wasn't draining, which would have been caught on a standard cleaning routine. Cockroaches came out at night, and there was a termite infestation that made the front room completely unusable. The few positives about the actual place is overridden by the absolute filth and worsened by the fact that we paid thousands to stay there. We left our extended stay early because the conditions were so intolerable. I rarely leave bad reviews because experiences can be different, but I can't see anyone accepting this. I hope this public review stays up for others to see and keep the owner accountable.

Unfortunately, our experience did not match the listing description or photos. We only stayed one night before leaving the property. Upon arrival, we encountered roaches in the home, including roaches inside the refrigerator. This was especially concerning because several previous reviews mentioned similar issues. We contacted Airbnb and ultimately decided not to continue our stay. The home was also not as represented in the listing. The photos make the property appear much newer and better maintained than it actually is. We observed missing sections of baseboards and trim, damaged flooring, and other signs of deferred maintenance throughout the home. We also specifically chose this property because we were told the yard was fully enclosed. After arriving, we found that the fence was not fully enclosed as represented. The host was generally responsive, but the condition of the property and the pest issues significantly impacted our experience. Future guests should carefully review.
