This was actually our second stay in this home. We love the home because of the location and welcoming appeal. The beds are comfy and the home has all the accommodations we needed. Great for family visiting students at UPS.

Great place to gather with family for thanksgiving

Our primary home is under renovation but we were very lucky to find this property to have family stay at and host Thanksgiving dinner. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to host and the cute second bathroom came in really handy. The location was perfect and close to friends who also stopped by for a visit. Thank-you for everything, you made our Thanksgiving a success!!!

Nice home but would suggest safety improvement

The home was adequately furnished. We enjoyed the backyard and the outdoor furniture. The kitchen is adequately furnished. Locating the lockbox for the house keys was a little challenging because as we walked to the front porch we saw a lock box. However, after several attempts to open we realized this was not the right one. We then noticed the location of the correct lockbox.. There is a nice park within walking distance. The immediate neighbors and street were quiet. We are strongly recommending to the owner that the door leading to the basement/laundry area swing into the kitchen. Currently when someone opens the door there is the immediate risk of them falling down the stairs. Also if that door is not secured tightly and someone leans against the door they could fall down the steps. The dishwasher door did not close easily and would just fall open. The mattresses move when turning over. In fact one night I fell off the bottom bunk bed as I was turning over. Luckily it’s a short drop to the floor. One side of the bathroom mirror fell off the wall. We propped up the mirror with towels to prevent it from falling to the floor. I reported the situation on line. When there was not a timely response I called Vacasa to make a report. We are hoping the mirror was reattach after we checked out-two days later. Would we rent again…yes if the basement and dishwasher doors are secured especially the basement door .
