Sufficient

Sheets and towels were clean. Comforters and bedspreads were not clean. Plenty of room for family of 8. Cobwebs and sticky floors made stay uncomfortable. Broken mirror propped in closet not safe. We were in town for wedding festivities, and the house provided a place to dress and sleep. Unable to hook up to wifi...no directions. If the house was clean it would have been great,

Stereotype

The property was great , it was in a great location. I thought that we were stereotyped once we were seen on the camera of the property. we are in our 50s and 60s we have no time for loud parties. Overall the experience was great.

Good, Two-Family-Friendly (if not the cleanest) Home

The space worked well for our two families with 6 young kids (who loved the toys and books). We basically just used the home as a place to sleep and eat breakfast while we visited local family, and it fit our needs. The living/dining room would have felt a bit cramped if we’d all been trying to eat or sit together, but it was as pictured in the listing so no surprises. Only issue was the cleanliness: a thorough dusting was needed and pots and dishes in the cabinets had food on them still, among other things.

Adequate accommodations

Nice to have 2 levels for older kids to stay downstairs and adults upstairs. There was no WIFI so that was a bit of a bummer. The host tried to resolve it but it was not remedied during our stay.

Family friendly in quiet neighborhood

Self check in was easy with very easy to understand instructions. Host was very responsive to messages. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked and even had some spices and coffee/oatmeal was available. Back deck and yard were a plus. Lots of games to play! House could definitely have been cleaner but it wasn’t that much of an issue.

Family Wedding Headquarters

the house had enough rooms / beds to accommodate our family ... location was excellent to proximity of wedding, basement was great for teenage siblings, Kitchen was well supplied. However, yard was not mowed , cobwebs in house , spiders , main bathtub not completely cleaned upon arrival , and living room lacked comfortable seating.

It Serves It's Purpose

All in all it served the purpose without any troubles. The water pressure for the showers was low and the toilets are small and the tv's are small. Basement has only one way out which is where half the sleeping quarters are. They do have board games and cards and puzzles, nice deck off the master bedroom and nice size back yard.

Needs Serious TLC

There were several things wrong, the doors did not close and latch properly. There was and probably still is a toothbrush in the record player upstairs living room. Didnt want to touch it very gross. The upstairs main bathroom shower was dirty. Has someone else's hair stuck on the side of the tub. The kitchen stove was very old and stained with grease or something. The toaster oven didnt look like its been cleaned for several uses. Kitchen trash was not emptied from previous use. The garage when putting our trash out there before we left on our last day stunk, like it still has trash in it from several users ago. No remote for the upstairs tv to turn on and off. had to do it manually, then had to adjust volume the same way. House was extremely cold when we got there. Had to turn the heat on and leave it on in order to get it warmed up. No laundry baskets to put dirty towels in. Left them in the main floor bathroom tub. Ceiling fans were extremely dusty and dirty. The area was not bad at all. The house manager came and tried to replace the remote batteries and the remote wasnt the correct one for the tv at all. wifi had to be reset after contacting the house manager. no i dont think we will be using this location again if we were to ever come back to Columbia.

About the host

Host profile image
I live in the country with my husband, 2 small children, 2 dogs, 1 cat and 10 chickens. We are a musical family and enjoy to travel which hopefully has given us some insight on what to provide guests with in our rental homes!

Why they chose this property

This is such a sweet house that is deceivingly large. It is in a quiet, family friendly neighborhood that adds a layer of safety to your stay. If we had lived in town this would have been our live in home! We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
