The property was very clean and the location is very convenient for the area. The property owner was helpful and friendly. Will definitely stay here again.
We had a couple of issues but the host took care of it. Overall the place was nice and very convenient since we were spending a lot of time at the speedway

Many things to do in the immediate area.Overall this little home was perfect for a long weekend to go to the MIS speedway and visit family. Home was clean and comfortable for our stay. Only negative is this property on VRBO says it has A/C and it does not!No instructions for leaving the property ...example, taking out trash, stripping beds..etcA little quicker response time to any inquiry would be nice.Overall i gave it a 4/5

Lack of communication caused us to wait at the property for a few hours without being able to get inside. The house was also unclean and had dirty laundry from previous guests. Home owner did give a small refund due to this.

There was a miscommunication about arriving early and the cleaning person skipped the cleaning. The host ghosted us immediately. No solution was attempted (like at least sending the cleaning people the next day or sending someone to fix the air. We had to clean the toilet and rest of bathroom with whatever cleaning supplies we could find. We had 1 wash cloth for two people as the rest were used by the previous renter. We had to strip the beds and what we believe were extra sheets were wadded up in the closet and smelled musty. We are still not sure if we slept on clean sheets. Also the air was not working but luckily the night was cool and we were able to open windows.I was never so glad to get home and get in the shower.Much of this could have been overlooked if the host would have tried to help instead of hiding from us.
