DO NOT STAY HERE

This place is infested with bed bugs. I went to check on my sleeping children only to find them covered in bed bugs. They did move us to a new house but the house they moved us to was filthy also risking contaminating the new house. Both houses are still up for rent 2 days later so I’d stay clear of this company in general.

Great Historical Location

A cozy home that met all our needs for a week long stay. I was there for work, and my family explored the community. Excellent location in the centre of town, and the small A/C unit was essential for the 30+ degree days.

So, as far as vacation rentals that aren’t a hotel - this was the worst one we’ve stayed in. I’ll list the pros and cons: Pros: Excellent central location; you can see the biggest dinosaur in the world from

Feel ripped off

Was a family vacation with adult son and his family. House was dirty, getting rundown, dryer only ran cold, supplies limited and locked in a closet so no access to supplies. Flooring in disrepair, wifi cut out and no response on how to fix it. Bbq disgusting, no tools or brush for bbq, outside garbage can full; dishes in cupboard dirty, couch dirty. Beds were comfortable and clean. Overall very disappointing. Raptors Retreat was classified as a premium place to stay. Complete lie. Pictures of place are false
