Great house for a family
The house was comfortable and perfectly located near the William Penn Inn. It was missing the futon so it sleeps 7 versus 8 but we had no problems. I would rent this one again. Excellent communication with the manager. Thank you for a great stay!

We came back and will continue to do so!
This was our second stay with this property. The place was very clean and ready for us from the first moment. Katelyn checked in with me before we got there and made sure we had enough towels for our family of 5. During the second day there, there was a problem with the AC. I contacted Katelyn at 8:30pm and she responded quickly back, sent over the maintenance guy who determined what the problem was. Although the problem could not be fixed, he helped set up the portable unit for the attic before he left. Katelyn was in communication with us throughout the week and was good to remind us of the check out duties. Everything worked out well overall. Our 3 kids (ages 15, 13 and 11) love this house. We plan to stay again the next time we need to stay in the area. Thank you Katelyn!

Extremely Disappointed – Dirty property and unwashed linen couldn’t stay & still awaiting my refund
My recent experience with VRBO and this property has been nothing short of a nightmare. I booked and paid early February for a July stay. It has been 17 days past the check in day and the owner has yet to complete my refund. I have contacted the property owner 5 times and connected with VRBO 4 times. No resolution. I expected better. Upon arriving at the property, we were immediately taken aback that the place had not been cleaned and the upstairs air conditioner was not functioning. There was a massive pile of dirty laundry in the kitchen, hair in the bathroom sink, and unvacuumed floors. There had been a mix-up and the cleaning team did not come. We needed to find alternative lodging for 6 of us coming from Wisconsin and California. The host agreed to cancel. On Monday, the planned checkout day, I asked about my refund, and I am still waiting for restitution. According to VRBO’s policy and the host, I should be entitled to a full refund. Unfortunately VRBO’s process was disappointing. Despite providing evidence of the agreement with the host, they let me know there was nothing they could do. Finally, I went so far as to send the host the VRBO instructions on how to process a refund and there has still been no response. I am stressed and frustrated. I urge anyone considering using this VRBO to be cautious and think twice before booking.

Great charming house
Everything was perfect! The only reason I gave it a 4 and not a 5 was it could have used a bit of a deeper clean, all the corners of the rooms had dirt. The beds are very comfortable! I do not like that they dont clean the bed comforters between guests either. The house and back yard are perfect!

Our family of five stayed at this property and all our needs were met. The check-in process was easy and after we got there, we discovered there were not enough towels, so after I called Katelyn, she very quickly remedy the situation. Katelyn was very easy to work with, answered all our questions, and checked in with us during our stay to make sure we had everything we needed. The place was clean and definitely was true as it was advertised and perfect for our family. We will definitely look into staying here again in the future.

My fiancée and I rented this property from Monday-Wednesday with our 4 children. Check in and out was super easy. House was very spacious, the only downside was the bathrooms were super tight. I love that we were able to bring our fur-baby with us, too. The yard had quite a bit of foliage but our kids made the best ninja moves with them (including stick yoga). Overall I’d rate it a 4 out of 5. Would love to rent again in the future.

Nice Stay
We enjoyed our stay at this house! Check in was a breeze and the house was cozy and inviting, and as described. We had an issue with the internet not working but were able to reset the router, which fixed the issue. The host responded promptly about this issue. A few issues we ran into: there were only 3 towels even though we booked the home for 5 people. There was a letter board upon entering which had some foul things posted, assuming this was from the prior tenants - but was a little odd to see first thing. We went to make coffee in the morning, and the Keurig did not work. We also noticed the vents were extremely dusty - easy to miss but the details do matter for rentals. Also two other more informational things - the steps out front do not have any type of rail to hold onto. This was difficult for my mother as she has a bad knee from an accident a few years ago. There also is a part of the stairs inside the house that does not have a rail - this made it difficult for my mother and toddler daughter to safely use the stairs. Also, the bathrooms are very small - just a note! it was not a problem for us, but could see it being an issue for others. Overall we would recommend this property, but request a few changes to be made!

BUYER BEWARE/DON'T RENT
This property ran out of hot water after 1 shower. The toilet wasn't flushing. There were miles of dust and even some trash under the beds. We contracted to rent for 6 people and were provided 3 towels. I alerted the owner to the issues. She came over and made accusations and was very hostile. I've never seen that. Usually owners are apologetic and resolve problems. This one accused us of being the problem, like we traveled across country to not have hot water and were making it up. She let us know that she and her brother have a lot of properties and are all about the money. I needed a shower after my conversation with her, because she was so misanthropic and creepy. Only there was no hot water!! I had to shower at family members' homes during my stay. What a mess! STAY AWAY from any of her/her brother's properties.
