Our stay was good and the property was as describe. We were in town for a weeding so we didn’t spend a lot of time hanging out at the house. Game room was cool and wish we had more time to enjoy it. Could use a few more bathroom and kitchen linens, but other than that we would definitely stay here again.

The home was very nicely decorated, very clean and in a great location at the end of a street. The backyard is very beautiful where you can hang out and enjoy being outside. The game room is a great touch and would have been used more if we would have been in town longer. Enough space for our family. Great and quick communication by property owner/manager. Location was close to University of Evansville where we spent most of our time for baseball.

Nice place for the most part. It’s an older home that has been renovated with new touches. The house could have been cleaner. We found a lot of dead bugs. There was dirt/dust under beds and TV stand. It would be nice if there was a way to get AC in the game room. The thermostat was initially set to keep reverting to a program which made it get really hot the first night we were there. The host responded to my message quickly about to how fix that. The beds were comfy. Overall it was a nice place, but maybe a little expensive for what you get. The 170 cleaning fee is crazy considering how clean the place was.
