Ok condo- chores for check out

Checking in was harder than it needed to be. They kept sending a link through vrbo that I couldn't click or copy/paste. I had to use a second phone to type it in manually. They have rigid check in and check out times, so much so they gave us the code right at 4pm. This property has some pros and cons that I'll list. Pros: quiet neighborhood, 7 minutes from silver dollar city/walmart, the deck has a beautiful view, while not huge it was big enough for my family of 6.Cons: had I realized there were chores as part of the check out process I would have not chosen this condo. When you expect guests to do half your chores you can't expect a lot of cleanliness and that is what we got. If you want to use white towels then you need to make sure you can keep them white or buy lots of extras as you go through towels you can't clean. Some of our towels weren't clean, since doing towel laundry is on the guest check out list I'm nervous they didn't get cleaned before us. Also on the list for guest chores is to load the dishwasher and start it. Given there is no dishwasher, and the state of the dishes we were going to use, I supposed you also can't expect your guests to do all their dishes. It was gross. We washed everything before we used it just in case, somethings we had to wash because there were chunks on them. The kitchen floor slopes so you feel like you are still in grandfather's mansion (iykyk).Over all while the condo was OK, I'd never stay here again.

Nice stay

Nice place to stay for 2 senior couples who wanted to enjoy Silver Dollar City for a day. Great communication. I really liked that the living room had a couch plus 2 lounge chairs. It made it easy for us to visit without being on top of each other.

Great Stay

Condo is very basic but clean and very convenient to Silver Dollar City. Great for family of 5 going to the park or exploring Branson. Neighborhood is very quiet and we talked with several friendly people in the area. Chris was great to work with and very responsive to all our needs. Highly recommend this property!

Great Little Getaway!

My wife and I just wanted some time away and found that at A Notch Above. The condo is as described, and the responsiveness of the host was perfect. This place is great to look out over the mountains from the deck and is just a short drive to all the activities we wanted. Thank you! We look forward to returning soon.
