Temporary Housing

Our company placed a family (client) here while their home was being repaired due to an insurance claim. The family was very happy with the home, it's location, and the host. Being able to stay in this home help alleviate some of the stresses they were dealing with after their was damaged. Karen was an excellent host. She communicated quickly and clearly. This made the stay even better. We highly recommend Karen as a host and her beautiful home for your next get away.

Temporary Housing Need

Our company placed some clients in this home while they were displaced from their own home due to an insurance claim. They were not able to live in their own home during part of the repairs process and needed something as close to their home as possible, This property turned out to be exactly what they needed. The host was so amazing and quick to respond to all of our questions and the needs of this family. Our client has had nothing but excellent things to say about their time in this home. They were very distressed about having to be out of their home and this stay made that time away so much easier. We want to thank the host for being so wonderful to work with. We highly recommend this home for your next get away.

Great House For a Large Group

My family came from out of state for my son’s wedding in Odenville and stayed at this lovely home. The house is so roomy that everyone has their own private space. The house is well stocked and the host is very laid back. It was perfect for our family’s needs.

House accommodated 15 family members for my sons wedding this weekend in Springville . Karen was very easy to work with always responded in a timely manner . The house was nicely stocked with adequate linens, blankets , pillows and towels. The kitchen was well stocked with condiments and coffee. The house was spacious and lovely . We enjoyed our family time together under one roof. Thank you Karen for opening up your beautiful home to us this weekend.

Hurricane Escape Makes for a Wonderful Vacation

My family and I along with a neighbor were forced to leave our home on Florida’s East Coast because of hurricane Irma. We had a very difficult time finding a place to flee to because most of the rental homes and hotels were booked. This home was much farther than what we wanted to travel. However, it turned out to be well worth the long ride. From the time we stepped foot in the door our worries seemed to melt away. After seeing this gorgeous home, we realized it was going to kill two birds with one stone. We would be safe from the storm and we were going to make this an unexpected and well-deserved vacation. There are so many extra features in this home to ensure everyone has a wonderful time. The area was beautiful. The home set at the top of a hill (in Florida it would be considered a mountain) and the local people were charming. The homeowner was so kind to work with us and was very attentive to our every need. I can’t say enough about how lovely this home was. The pictures don’t do justice to the beauty and comfort of this home. We hope to be able to return next summer for a longer vacation. Karen… Thank you again for everything you did for us.

Not as advertised

I had rented for a family gathering and spent the weekend being shown "issues" by everyone staying. The property manager was easy to contact and quickly responded to incorrect info left regarding the wifi name and password. Unfortunately, the property had issues and was not as advertised. The listing states 6 beds, sleeping 10 yet there were 5 beds sleeping 8 (although we had only 7 adults and one baby for which we brought our own playpen which was good cause the playpen advertised as available was not there). We were unable to locate the games or baby items and the air hockey game was unusable unless moved and leveled. The cleanliness were disturbing, particularly when it was assumed since we were charged a cleaning fee up front the property would be, at least, clean. Instead, we were faced with mildew lined shower door, floors covered with dirt, leftover goldfish crackers and water bottles under a bed, pans crusted with leftover eggs, a coffee maker that constantly overflowed even when "single" cup was selected, a broken Roku unit, the top of the kitchen "tile" flaking off into feet, a shower door that would not close, peeling paint on the door frame. These represent the worst of what we experienced. Shame.

Wonderful Stay

This home was perfect for our party of 8. We had more than enough room and communication with Karen was above par - she had thought of everything to make our entire stay the definition of "Southern Hospitality"! She even went out of her way to have an extra box fan waiting for us on our arrival. Thanks Karen and we will be back!

Absolutely Beautiful home but amazing host

This house has so much room and spread out for privacy. . Very clean home and beautiful furnishings but nothing beats the host . Let me tell you she is amazing with thoughtfulness of what you may need from travel size hair products in case you left yours to a note in the kitchen cabinet that told your where everything was so no need to hunt for anything and waist a minute of your vacation. Need a vase for flowers? Look at the note. She literally thought of everything. Thank you for making our families stay so great!!! We will be back!!

Very Relaxing Stay!

My wife, three daughters and I had a great time. The house was exactly as advertised and shown in the pictures. There was plenty of space for us to spread out and get alone time but also has great spaces for us to gather together for a meal or to watch a movie. The yard was nice. The owner was very easy to work with. We loved our time there.

Lots of room

My daughter was getting married in Springville. This was the perfect location, just 20 minutes away. We had 10 people and had plenty of room very everyone and plenty of room to park. The place was very clean with amenities. 3 bathrooms made wedding morning more tolerable. Beds are very comfortable, the are higher beds(something to keep in mind for older or disabled guest). There is a bedroom, bathroom and a small living room on the ground floor that is accessible through the garage. All other areas of house must be able to Negotiate stairs. My overall stay was wonderful. Communication with owner was excellent.

Perfect place for families

We rented this to house our family for a wedding at Matthews Manor. Ages ranged from 97 to 7 yrs. The 7 yr old girl was constantly occupied with the swing, trampoline, etc. On second day two neighbor Children came over and played with her for hours. Gorgeous house with every amenity possible. We made memories to last a lifetime laughing and joking on the back deck. Can’t say enough about the owner, either. Extremely patient with us, and extremely prompt at answering questions as well. Renting this house was the best decision we made about this wedding!
