I appreciate that the VRBO hostess provided a 13x9 dish for baking and a roaster pan upon request! The hostess was also gracious in provding a Christmas tree and decorations upon request. The VRBO was nicely appointed but located in a very noisy neighborhood right next to the main drive through town/extremely noisy, house is very drafty/chilly and one restroom on 2nd floor was a problem for members of our party that struggle with stairs. I don't feel like I had all this information at the time of payment/contract.

Girls trip after a wedding in the area we wanted to visit longwood gardens. I actually messed up my reservation and contacted the owner in a panick and she was able to accommodate us. Lovely property, clearly a designer and contractor team had remodeled this historic home.

This place is so beautiful and suited my needs perfectly. I came down to visit my children who live nearby and having a home with a nice backyard was perfect for celebrating a birthday with them. I did reach out to the host with a question prior to my arrival and never received an answer; the WiFi password given is written with an upper case letter which should be a lower case letter (took a few minutes to figure that out). Overall, great stay! I’d stay here again. It is on a very busy road and tends to be loud - not for those who need quiet for sleeping.

We were not able to stay due to the condition of the property when we arrived. The house had not been cleaned after the prior renter. There were bags of trash in the kitchen, food on the counter and in the fridge, beds were stripped or tussled with used sheets, and towels were strewn about the bathroom. We arrived after 10:00 pm from out of town as we had a function to attend. We notified the owner immediately but did not hear back until the next morning. She apologized saying she had been sick and had forgotten she had another renter to get the house prepared for. Later in the morning, she communicated that she’d have the house cleaned by 2:00. As we had already had to find other accommodations, we asked for a refund as we would not be staying. It has been several days, and the owner has not responded nor has refunded anything.

Well Appointed lovely home - however it is on the corner of a major road with a traffic light. The constant traffic and braking of heavy trucks made it difficult for sleeping.

Cooper PA experience

We were very pleased with the appearance of the property. The property was decorated very well and contained many amenities to make the visit more comfortable. We especially appreciated the quality of the bedding. We did experience a couple of minor glitches, but these were very quickly and effectively resolved by the owner.

Good home base

This property was convenient and perfect for us. It was very clean and comfortable; road noise could bother some but we found it easy enough to tune out. One smallish bathroom but everything else was good for a base from which tour the area.
