Pleasant atay

Great location. The house sits in a quiet neighborhood, but is central to many of the places we stopped at. Fresh and clean inside, with some comfy beds.

Perfect stay

This place was perfect for my needs. The kitchen had everything I needed to prepare my meals. I slept comfortably in the supportive, yet cozy, bed. The WiFi worked flawlessly and the speed was more than enough to be able to work remotely. The neighborhood was quiet & felt safe & was a nice area for a long walk. I would definitely stay here again.

Long weekend

We were looking for a comfortable place to settle while spending a long weekend at the Dells. This place is very clean, comfortable and has every detail covered. I would highly recommend it. For those curious, there were people in the unit above us and we had no problem with noise.

MET BASIC NEEDS

Place was clean and neighbor hood was safe and quiet. The sound from the place above was very loud and lasted all night(running, stomping, jumping). Thankfully they checked out and we got some sleep the next night. Needs more Livingroom seating. The chair is definitely for looks only. Don't forget to sign out of your disney, netflix accounts etc.., that was a nightmare to get my account passwords changed because I forgot to sign out when we left and the next folks were using all of my accounts. overall it met all our needs and bed were very comfortable. i would suggest the owner communicate with vacationers through the VRBO site or via phone. But she did great in helping gain access to our duplex.
