Beautiful Home - Excellent Use of Space

The home is located in a very safe neighborhood located blocks away from downtown Batavia and an easy drive into Geneva/St. Charles. I was able to communicate directly with the owner and he was wonderful to work with. The popcorn machine in the basement was a hit with my two daughters. The office space and standing desk made my workdays very comfortable. This is an amazing space and an amazing owner. Thank you!

Christmas family stay

The neighborhood was nice and quiet. Communicated well with the host who was very responsive. As owners ourselves of rental property, it’s hard for things to be perfect. Things happen but it’s how they are handled, nothing that won’t happen at your own home. Thankful for generosity of host as I had to accommodate different relatives on different days.

Great yard

Our stay in Batavia was fine. The house was big enough for our family and had a great large outdoor space for us to play yard games and cookout. Mark was very quick to respond when needed. The neighborhood is nice and quiet and close to the park. Good for a quiet family stay.

Family Gathering

This clean, beautifully decorated house was perfect for our family gathering. With its spacious kitchen and bedrooms and a separate space for the grandkids, there was plenty of room for everyone. The large outdoor space was great for grilling and yard games. Mark was a great host and the neighborhood was nice and quiet. We would defiantly stay again.

Family Trip

The property is very nice, newly remodeled and beautifully decorated. Needs just a few practical items for the rooms in the basement, which I suggested to the owner but otherwise it was perfect for our trip back to visit family. We would have loved to have been able to sit outside on the nice back deck, but we got some rain while we were there. Would definitely stay here again!

Relaxing weekend

6 of us long-time girlfriends met up for shopping & dining in Geneva. This home was perfect for us. Everything was lovely - just as advertised. We really liked the location. We had a fun weekend using this wonderful home. Mark, our host, was super quick to respond to any question we had. I highly recommend this VRBO. The driveway even had room to fit our 6 cars. And we are already planning to come back next year.

Beautifully decorated home near the Fox River

Beautiful professionally decorated home. Stocked well with all the necessities. We stayed with our son, daughter and her husband and baby so we could be close to relatives for Christmas. Nice neighborhood close to walking/ running trails along the Fox River. Lots of space for family gather or spread out. Festive touches within the house added to our holiday experience. Host is very responsive and easy to reach. Beyond a five star stay!!!

House needs a deep cleaning

Positives: Location was great. In a safe neighborhood and right next to a park. Smart lock on the front door made check in easy. Host is responsive. Has infant pack n play and child high chair. Keurig that is stocked for coffee and tea lovers. Negatives: The house at first glance appears clean however the house (both interior and exterior) is overdue for a deep cleaning. The front porch is covered in cobwebs and the exterior light being on 24/7 (the switch is covered) only attracts even more bugs. While playing in the front yard we also found several colonies of ants all over the front porch. The interior continues to have cobwebs in almost every corner of each room. The floors appear clean but after walking in our socks for less than 1 hour, the bottoms were black.
