Property Description
Whether you’re looking for your next weekend getaway or planning a fishing trip with the boys, this is the place for you. This newly remodeled, cozy little home sitting near the railroad is conveniently, and centrally located just minutes away from the mighty Mississippi as well as Guttenberg’s vibrant, historical downtown center. This VRBO can sleep 3-4 comfortably with a queen bed and a twin bed, and more with two sofas accommodating for sleep as well as a fold out futon. (Things to note) If staying for a week or more, and the blue trash can on deck is full it would be much appreciated if it is taken out to the curb. Garbage goes out on Tuesday. I do not provide bathroom toiletries so I would recommend bringing your own shampoo, conditioner, tooth brush, too paste, etc. I have provided a charcoal grill, tools for use, would recommend bringing your own charcoal/lighter fluid as I do not provide that thanks.About pets:No pets allowed.About checkOut:Check out before 11:00 AM.About children:Children allowed: ages 0-17.About checkIn:Check in after 4:00 PM.About smoking:Smoking is not permitted.About events:No events allowed.

Not Good
Arrived and the lawn had not been mowed at all this year. Weeds growing through deck. Front door jammed and had to push hard/use shoulder to open. The shades on many windows were broken and fixed with paper towels. Spiders and spider webs then greeted us in every room. Found cigarette butts inside on floor. Parts of the floor were falling off and would cause us to trip and step on the staples that were tried to use to repair it. A few ants on the kitchen table. Furniture that was broken and a trip hazard. I cut my finger and was bleeding on a piece I tried to move. TV in bedroom had a cracked screen, internet did not work. Contacted owner and all he did was apologize it didn’t work. Not even antenna TV. Two rolls of toilet paper for a three day stay. Not enough blankets or bedding for sleeping “6”. Most of the outlets did not work, including the ones for lamps, so no light. Went out the side door, screen broken and falling off. No courtesy soaps for bathroom or shower. All in all, a very dissatisfying stay. I never write reviews, but in this case I feel it should be shared.

Our experience was lacking in this property, unfortunately. Upon arrival, we identified multiple details that were needing attention and not up to the standards I expect for a rental property. I had my 2 young children traveling with me and many of these issues were actually safety hazards for them. The kitchen stove wasn’t working, the toilet seat wasn’t bolted down securely and wobbled all over, the back screen door was missing the bottom half of the screen, a piece of wood trim on the floor was broken and loose, a windowsill was missing from the kitchen window and stuffed with paper towels, a rug corner was upturned and posed a trip hazard, the storage bench at the foot of the bed was broken and couldn’t be sat on, the lockbox with key on the door was already set to the code upon arrival so anyone could have entered before we had. Just all-around, a lack of attention to detail in maintaining the property. We were disappointed and dissatisfied.

Decent
This time of year the yard could use some TLC. There was trash around the porch area. Trash cans were really full. Something I wanted to let others know is that if there is 2 couples staying that the bathroom is located in the bigger bedroom. That made it hard to use the restroom without waking anyone up. There is no mirror in the bathroom and its very tiny. The twin size bed and futon wasnt very comfortable. The stove and oven doesnt work. We notified the guy who set us up for that. Location was great. This would be perfect for 1 couple and maybe 1 to 2 kids. use the bathroom without waking anyone up
