Auburn Rodeo and A Day

We were visiting our sophomore son with our younger son and his friend. The kids went to Rodeo and my husband and I enjoyed all the ADay fun including an Auburn win vs LSU. The house accommodated all of us comfortably, was went stocked and we love the back patio. Neighborhood is quiet and taking the back way out of the community, it’s a quick trip to campus via Glenn! Love this house and will definitely stay again!

Perfect Graduation Weekend!

This sweet cottage was the perfect spot for our daughter's graduation weekend. It was clean, nicely furnished and so convenient. We cooked out in the back yard and enjoyed some wonderful family time together. The agent was extremely responsive, and the weekend was just amazing! I would 100% recommend!

subpar

Home was clean and in a great location. However, I’ve stayed in the same neighborhood in a similar home with 10x the accommodations than this home. The check-in instructions which I assume come from the rental company, Big Fish Reality, were very aggressive. They could have found a more polite way to state several instructions. The last thing you want when staying in a rental is to feel “in trouble” before you even get to the home. The home was scantly stocked with cheap paper products and trash bags and bath and body products. ie. shampoo, conditioner, body soap. This was stated in the description of the home, but considering I’ve stayed in similar properties for the same price who had ample supplies of all, this seemed very cheap to me. The most uncomfortable thing about the home was the very small and extremely uncomfortable sofa in the living room, which was paired with two uncomfortable rattan chairs placed under the TV. A low cost Ikea like sectional could easily fit into this space to make accommodate more guests and make them more comfortable. Even if guests don’t spend most of their time in the home, I think most still expect comfort for this type of rental.

Good Times on the Plains

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Enjoyed our stay at the Cottage. It was clean, had all the amenities you need. The location was pretty decent as there is easy access to main roads to get you to grocery stories, restaurants etc... The walk to the stadium was a little longer than stated but about a 25 minute walk. However given the traffic that you would have to sit for along time so walking was the way to go and ultimately no big deal. We have stayed at hotels downtown in the past and we would definitely stay here again. I would recommend.

Bright Stylish home

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Super cute rental in a neighborhood full of rentals but noise or parking was never a problem. Communication was fast and efficient. Owners were kind and let us check out a little late. Only complaint was that we ran out of toilet paper in one of the bathroom because only half a roll was provide. Had I said something to the owners, I am certain they would have corrected the situation. Woudl definitely stay there again!!
