Reflections of a Stately Home
The neighborhood reflects the grand history of the area and this home fits right in. The key aspects for comfort including furnishings and layout were in place just as described. The description of 'newly remodeled' and 'newly built deck' may not align fully with the description of 'prestigious living' in that there are some features that are weathered and worn. Communication with the owner was very timely and the maintenance man was quick to respond to several calls we made for necessities we came upon (access to the additional bedroom, a minor plumbing issue, and supplies for the kitchen). The convenience of this location is exceptional for access to riverfront and downtown events.

Nice Property - No A/C
This property was a nice property, with a beautiful outdoor sitting area. It accomodated our large group nicely. One problem is that it is not air conditioned. This was a critical concern for us at the end of July! The attic where a large portion of beds were did not have AC, or any working windows. We had fans but it was very hot. The A/C units are in the bedrooms on the 2nd floor and are window units. There is no A/C on the main floor living space. Note that the water on the second floor bath was difficult to regulate the shower temperature.
The house was as pictured on the site, it as amazing !!! So much space, they were very nice and understanding. Very accommodating, the house was very clean, beds were super comfortable. It felt just like home 🥰
The place was not as described it was so horrible my guest and myself had to pay for a hotel and then the owner stopped responding when asking for our refund. The house had flies and gnats and smelled old as well as looked old.

Disliked: Cleanliness
It was fine enough, went for a girls weekend. Air conditioning wasn’t turned on. It got over 80 degrees on the second floor. Additionally, no hand soap in any of the bathrooms, just empty bottles and the master bathroom tub was dirty with hair. It was a beautiful house but there were a lot of small things that weren’t great.
