My family and I stayed for a long weekend for family wedding. The house was big and beautiful and perfect for my family. Would easily stay here again and again!
The location worked well for us. The gardens were lovely. The nature walk was very nice. For a large family, the kitchen/dining was very good. Beds and linens lacked nice quality but were sufficient. Enjoyed our stay.
Enjoyed our weekend at Rising Sun Retreat. Property was exactly as listed. Perfect size & location for our family to gather. Loved the large, open kitchen that led to the massive deck area. The weather was the perfect temperature for us to enjoy being outside on the deck.
When we pulled into the driveway there was a car parked there. I was not aware of this prior to booking. The small shed type building was being rented at the same time of our stay. I even had communication with the owner prior to arriving and was not told about this. So the driveway needed to be shared which made it very inconvenient to me and my guest. The main property description does not state the backyard guest house would be rented at the same time as the house to different people. It was stated on the check-in instructions the day of arrival
The property is in need of maintenance!! The door locks/handle are stripped. Hard time getting in and out. The deck is needs a coat of paint as well as the table that was out there. Window are dirty. Very bland inside décor
The inside lighting is terrible and there are no mirrors in the bedrooms. It made it difficult for 8 people to get ready. The only mirrors are in the bathrooms.
The house did accommodate 8 people not problem. This was the one good thing.
The is a extreme lack of communication. The property owner did provide a text line for any issues. The response time is extremely slow. The cleaners showed up at 9:20 to clean and check-out was 10:00
VRBO customer service is disappointing!
