Very good

Allen was easy to deal with, He called me a few minutes after booking.Told me all about the house and the area. The house is as advertised. Quaint and clean in a nice quiet neighborhood. Looking forward to mext year.
1950's is back again. Very comforting, like chikdhood . Nice chat with host Allen who grew up in the house. Very convenient for the Villa Louis Carriage Classic.
The location was perfect for our extended weekend. The house hosted us comfortably, we were able to spread out and relax during the storms. Our family thanks Allen for graciously allowing us to stay.
Allen the owner communicated with me via phone text and voice (which was much easier than the cumbersome VRBO online communication), and guided me through getting in to the house and some of the specifics like the attic fan etc. This house was awesome for us to gather at before my family reunion. Several cousins along with their children and grandchildren were able to come over for a cookout in the back yard. We also were able to heat up dishes for our family reunion. And due to the flooding our family reunion was relocated to the park 1 block away from the house making this an ideal location.
Allen knew a number of my family members and even told me stories about them I had not heard, making the Homestead the perfect place to stay for a reunion.
I really enjoyed talking to Allen and consider him a great host and a friend. I hope I get to stay here again.
Enjoyed our stay. Very comfortable and conveniently located. If you are coming this way and have a boat, or just need plenty of parking,this is where you want to stay.
We had a wonderful time!!! Google sent us the wrong address, being so dark, couldn't make out where we were. But the owner was so incredibly kind and so helpful, love all antiques LOVED it, lookin forward to staying again for sure
Great little house with 3 bed rooms! Property manager was responsive and helpful.

Only slept here
Allen was very accommodating and helpful. However, perhaps because he is far away and has sentimental attachment to the house and its contents, it is difficult for him to be aware or unbiased on its cleanliness and odor.

Quiet neighborhood, nice accommodations
There were three of us staying in this home which was quite comfortable. Beds were very comfortable and plenty of closet and dresser space. There were some dust bunnies under some of the furniture and there was a slight odor in the home which reminded me of old varnish. Because it was so hot, we didn't open windows. There was plenty of cooking pans and utensils for our use which we took advantage of. Overall, the owners were very responsive and we had a great stay. I'm still giving it a 4 star as it was much better than a hotel room as we could cook our own meals.
Overall things were fine. I just want to mention a couple things I would suggest. No crazy about having to pay extra for insurance of your personal items. Might want to get all the lights working as they should be. Larger TV's are cheap and set up a simple way to view. Very clumsy. I didn't come there to watch tv but it would be nice to at least check the news and weather? Parking was great!!
Second bathroom was in a very musty, moldy, dark, dirty basement. It flooded the first night and we were unable to use it. Host made excuses about getting it repaired and never told us that it was repaired. When she contacted me after I left, she just made excuses that it would be better for next guest. I was very unhappy with my stay as were my friends.

The bathroom was not cleaned at all (I have photos) there was a shelf in one of the bedrooms where all sorts of camera could have been! There was ONE A/C unit in ONE bedroom. The living room was warm. When we left & returned there was a truck in the drive, there was no one in the house (thankfully) the owner said it was the yard caretaker - we looked all around & NEVER saw anyone?? The truck stayed there for about 2 hours after we returned. There was a HUGE cobweb right by the front door. There were instructions to NEVER enter the basement-unless we must use these bathroom or the washer & dryer. I would like to talk with someone from VRBO - I am not sure this is a house you want on your listings? I have photos to share.
The bathroom sink didn't drain well at all. the rugs in house you easily slipped on. the bathroom had an awful urine smell. had to wash all pots, bowls, and utensils before use. curtains very dirty and spider webs every where. front screen door to side of street would not latch. had to brace with block during the wind storm

On first glance it is nice
On arriving at this property it appears to be quite nice for an older property. There are a few issues though. Hopefully the owner will work them out soon so other people don’t have to experience them. We had quite a few plumbing issues while we were there. The air conditioner also leaked water in the floor. The owner was very nice on the phone, but when it wasn’t sure he was going to be able to get the plumbing fixed and it was a weekend, we decided to move onto another place. We had been there one night without plumbing and we left a night early. We were only refunded one night and not even a full night at that. So while there are some very positive attributes… Beautiful little town, the house could be really cute,(perhaps a really deep cleaning and decluttering of personal hygiene items, etc would help), unless he gets some of the physical issues worked out then he probably doesn’t need to be renting it. FYI the description lists the basement with a handicapped accessible bathroom, but it clearly says when you get there that the basement is off-limits. So having one party that uses a walker and depending on being able to have that part of the facility was also not a plus for us.
The house was very clean and plenty of room for my group. The house has a nice big back yard and is close to the river and shopping. I works definitely stay there again. The owner reached out to me to make sure we knew the sleeping situations and how to get the best experience out of the house. Good stay!
