Wonderful place to stay!

Cozy but also spacious! Owner was very easy to get in touch with (not that we had many questions) neighbors were really friendly and we were super close to Charlotte as well as downtown Matthews. Everything we needed was in the house. Super comfortable stay and the house was really cute!

Cute and close to everything

Adorable cottage in the woods but close to everything. The beds are comfortable, towels are fluffy and check in was a breeze. Matthews Station is 3 minutes away and where we hung out with our friends. Fun restaurants and bars plus a great place for breakfast. Weill stay here again the next time we come into town. Would love to see the farmers market in town next time!

Worst Ever

This is without a doubt the most misrepresented rental I have ever stepped foot in. Nothing like the pictures or the description. Very worn and need of a deep cleaning, some furniture ready to just fall over. Floors in some areas are taped down with clear tape. Screen doorTo master is ready to fall off hinges and screen is completely torn out and just hanging there. Back yard is completely uninhabitable, full of roots and mid. No way to walk a dog out there. The hosts were even worse. When I reached outto tell them I was not staying they hung up on me and would not return my call. They had the audacity to ask me for 1500 deposit that I am waiting to get back. Dont let this place take yourmoney. It is one of the worst.

Cute home in nice neighborhood

Nicely equipped home for our 3 day stay. Kitchen had plenty of utensils for food preparation. Plenty of towels and blankets which was nice because the weather was chilly. The children really enjoyed the trundle bed, it was a novelty to them

consistently wonderful

We come to Matthews regularly from out of state to visit family and have stayed with Kim many times. It's like staying in our own place! Downtown Matthews is a short walk from the house, yet the location of the house is quiet, in a pretty neighborhood with many trees. The house is always spotless. Communication with the host is friendly and prompt.

Comfortable and walkable.

We had a great stay while visiting to attend family baby shower. The house is as pictured, clean and well appointed. Easy to spread out if you have multiple guests. We only had three, so, felt very roomy. Beds super comfortable. Opportunities with outdoor area, landscaping and creating cute sitting areas could be a plus, however, with the heat this time of year, we may not have used anyway. Would consider for fall though.

Nice location

The host was really nice and communicative. Unfortunately this place was just so expensive. We were only staying for one night as we drove to the beach. As soon as I booked it I tried to cancel it because of all the extra fees I didn’t realize. But since it was non refundable I was forced to pay extra fees after I booked it. so for one night it was an extra for insurance than extra for pets. The kitchen was nice. The bedrooms and bathrooms were like a 2-3 star hotel cleanliness. Idk I guess I just had high expectations cause it was so expensive. It would of been cheaper to go to a hotel and get two rooms and pay there pet fees.

Downtown Matthews stay

I'm from Matthews, but my family has outgrown my parents house when siblings are in town so my husband, children and I stayed here when in town for my sister's graduation. The neighborhood is very quiet and hidden, but also right in downtown Matthews so it was easy to get to places quickly. The house is small, but perfect for a family of 5. They provided a good selection of kitchen items and while many dishes were still dirty when we arrived(the only 4 star rating), the house as a whole was very clean. Kim was easy to communicate with and quick to reply. We would definitely stay again!

Unpleasant Stay

While the property is quite beautiful, we had an unpleasant stay. We showed up to the place late in the evening and past check in time to find an uncleaned house. When we called the host, she was practically unreachable - I had to download WhatsApp in order to call her, when I finally got a hold of the host, she ended up laughing at our complaints about the space. She sent the cleaning crew and they were done around 11pm, and chalked it up to a scheduling conflict. The rest of the stay was pleasant enough given the circumstances. After checkout, the host reached out to complain about a dirty house and food all over the house while we only had meals in the living room. Overall, the hosts lack of proper communication, the state we found the property in and the thinly-veiled cop out from taking responsibility on the first night that was saying we left a messy house alongside VRBOs poor excuse of customer support left a bad taste in my family’s experience at this stay and with VRBO
