My family and I were in for an event at Syracuse University in early April. The house was great and we loved the space and location. We will definitely stay here again! Thank you Bill.

Perfection
The house was everything we expected and more. We are seasoned VRBO guests up and down the East coast. This was the best house by far. It was immaculate. Not a spot of dust. Kitchen is well stocked. Love when hosts let guests leave supplies for the next renter. Kurig coffee maker with a few pods to start, sugar and sweeteners. A couple water bottles, a chilled bottle of wine, a frozen pizza, condiments…only thing lacking in that room was a tea kettle (but a pot of boiling water works fine as well). Living room has a huge, comfy couch, big screen tv…Alexa speakers in most rooms. Plenty of blankets, cleaning supplies, towels, sundries. My favorite thing was the beds. I meant to take a picture of the mattress label in 3rd bedroom (where I slept better than I have in years) but forgot. It was amazing.My sister and niece were equally happy with their rooms. Lots of closet space. Full unfinished basement with washer/dryer. We were only there for 2 days so we didn't use them. Backyard has a patio/deck, BBQ grill and large built in pool. (Maybe we will come back in the summer 😍.) Yard is fenced in and pet friendly. Cameras in front and back yard for security. (Not in house) Beautiful, quiet neighborhood. We would definitely stay again. Thanks for sharing your home Bill.

Christina, Wow is all I can say! Thank you so much for the well written review. Never thought about a tea kettle but it’s now on the shopping list. I normally just run hot water through the kurig with no pod into a cup with a tea bag. Please message me in the app and tell me which room you were in and I’ll send you the mattress info. Please come again!

Amazing property and lovely location
We stayed for the weekend and was terrific every part of the way. The location was very clean and easy to check in. The whole house has automation integration and the rooms are very clean and exudes comfy. My only criticism would be that the fire tv stick was a bit slow in launching Netflix and other apps. Overall I would absolutely book this place again if I come back to this location.

Secure yard for the dogs
I hate leaving a good review because I loved my time at this house and I want to keep it all to myself. The problem is they deserve their 5🌟. The house was lovely there were dog bed’s everywhere. The kitchen seemed well stocked we didn’t cook at the house though. I loved the pool and spent my days there. The neighborhood was great to walk the dogs. The yard was awesome for the dogs. If you are staying here visit Green Lakes State Park. It was gorgeous and about 20 minutes away.

I have never experienced such a racist act
I had a terrible experience with owner he was rude and racist the pillows were dirty in bedroom smelled like dirt…you can smell moisture in air which he had a dehumidifier going upstairs he came by the house lurking and never stated he had cameras in the house he invaded my privacy I will never rent from him again…

Response from VrboOwner on 22 Apr 2023
Shinah, I don’t even know where to start. To anyone reading this that wants to question my integrity I would be happy to show you the security camera footage from outside the house. Yes there are security cameras outside the house, they are not allowed inside the house. I got a txt from my neighbors complaining about the noise and people in the backyard. Guest was having a party which is against the rules in the VRBO agreement. I called and asked her to get the people out of the house as parties are not allowed. She refused and her friends proceeded to say rude and disrespectful things into the camera in the backyard stating they’re not leaving and there’s nothing I can do about it. At this point I called the police to meet me at the property, refunded her remaining two nights and had them all escorted from the property. I don’t have a racist bone in my body, the fact that you chose to write this review knowing it’s all lies tells me everything I need to know about your character. As for the dirty pillows and dehumidifier, everything was cleaned and washed before you arrived like we do for everyone else and the machine you are referring to is an air purifier because many people still have concerns about Covid. You were disrespectful to my property, myself and my neighbors and were asked to leave and refunded your remaining nights. End of story

Eh honestely expected better!! Read 👇
First of all, you pay $100 cleaning fee, and $70 servings just for you to do all the work… we had to bring our sheets and stuff to the laundry room downstairs, clean the room, wash our towels, for that you should be paying us lol what’s the point of the $170? Also when we came there was this terrible smell!! Like rotten eggs absolutely terrible. No lights outside, yes there’s a light but it’s so weak doesn’t reach the pool if you wanna swim at night. No Chairs with umbrellas for the sun or rain. Then someone came cutting trees in the morning!! When you come to places like that you expect some nice silence. And it says we’re not supposed to use the towels for the pool. 2 hours before the check out someone bothered us again asking for the owner. The pool itself doesn’t include any types of floaties, we had to buy our own. And we left them for others to use them. And there’s a camera outside in the pool, yeah for security but still not so private. The good thing is it was pretty clean, and spacious.

Beautiful property, house was so clean and just perfect for our week long stay. Pool was so clean and beautiful, pool was enjoyed everyday by us and our doggie.... and big manicured back yard. The house with wrap around couch and huge TV was so enjoyable, a great place. The host was so helpful and quick with any questions .... Thank you... The bedrooms were beautiful , beds were so comfortable and Tvs also the master bedroom with attached bathroom so nice.... Let's not forget how close Lake Oneida is we went for a day, a breathtaking place and fun at the Lakehouse restaurant/casino, a must go see.... and an amusement park for kids which was a huge place.... also so many resturants and grocery stores are only 2 mins away from the property which was very nice... Our doggie is missing the pool for sure! We can't wait to go back!!

We needed a place near Syracuse so we could explore the area because my son will be attending SUNY ESF in the fall. We were very impressed with how clean the house was and enjoyed the pool.

Perfect family getaway
We rented this property in order to visit our son at school in Syracuse (Go ESF!!). The home is spotless! I was so excited to be able to host an early home cooked Easter dinner for some hungry guys and gals. Kitchen was fully stocked with extra casserole dishes (I did bring 2 of my own), baking sheets and pots and pans. The ONLY issue (and not because of the host) was the "smartness" of the home. Working the TV/Fire stick was a bit tricky because we were not used to it. We were able to figure it out and all was right with the world! Poor Alexa was probably tired of hearing my voice. Bill was very responsive regarding one question we had, so don't let our inexperience with smart-things be a negative. We only used the master bedroom, but the other rooms looked inviting . Huge sectional sofa was a hit after dinner to chill and relax on. The neighborhood was VERY quiet. We joked it was like The Truman Show neighborhood 😆. It was easy to get around to grocery stores and restaurants. Highly recommend Hot House Brewery at Barone Gardens for a great lunch. Overall, a wonderful home and hosts!

Great house and location, not the greatest experience
The house is very nice and clean, well appointed. Great quiet neighborhood. One of the bedrooms just has a futon not a real bed but that was OK. Thermostat is controlled by Alexa, which turned down the heat automatically and locked the controls on the third night. I tried to contact the owner twice but received no response. This is not a vacant home; it appears that the residents are away and that feels a little uncomfortable .

Jill, the thermostat is not controlled by Alexa other than being able to give her commands to change the temperature. The temp automatically goes down at night to save energy because most people are covered up in bed. We like to give people freedom to feel at home but when it’s abused we take it away. Woke up at 1 am to a notification from nest the system was running more than usual, checked to find it was 80 degrees in the house. There’s no reason for it to be 80 in the house, that’s called taking advantage of someone. At that point I locked it to go no higher than 68.
