We needed a place to stay for a family wedding in Tyler. 8 adults and one toddler. We wanted a home so we could spend more time together between events, and because it was more economical than a hotel. This was perfect for that. Beautiful rooms and we had everything we needed from dishes to laundry detergent to towels to TV. The host was easy to communicate with. The home is in a neighborhood surrounded by other homes with a small empty lot next door. There is a limited view of the lake behind neighboring homes, but there is an easement to it at the end of the block. Some of our party jumped right in and enjoyed the water.
We opted for a home because we had three families staying together while visiting our local family. It was more economical that 3 or 4 hotel rooms with room to hang out together and have a kitchen.
A few things to note when renting.
1. Keep the door code you are sent soon after your confirmation. The information that comes prior to your stay did not include it.
2. The wifi instructions were not accurate in the details sent. We all worked while there, it may not be needed by all. The host was very quick to respond to this request and we weren't without too long.
3. The home was clean overall, some items left in bathroom trash and cobwebs in bedrooms but I still give it five stars because everything that counts was fresh and clean.
4. Seating is limited in living room. One smaller L-shaped couch and a chair. We had to bring in chairs from dining area to all have a place to sit.
5. There are several Roomba type vacuums around home but no actual vacuum. For my OCD husband this was very difficult to handle. HA!!!
6. One of the breakers that controls the recessed lighting in foyer and living area kept tripping. We just kept resetting it, but not until after I flipped every switch downstairs to figure it out. :-)
7. And finally, bring towels and washcloths. We had read past reviews and noticed that comment, so we came prepared with some extra.
We had a great stay! The home served our purpose of all staying together and being close to our family. I would stay again.
The house was clean and spacious. The location worked.
We were disappointed in the ad versus reality, the responsiveness to issues, access to simple things like towels & window coverings. The ad listed 5 bedrooms & 5 bathrooms & the ability to sleep up to 19. The house had beds for 11. No adult could sleep on the inexpensive futons. The property manager wanted to charge more per person above 8 even though the ad clearly stated a rate for up to 19! There were not enough dishes for 8 let alone 19. There were no extra sheets or blankets and limited wash clothes.
However, the beds weâre comfortable, the property was clean, & the location worked for my family for the event. Supplies were stocked. Nice unexpected was the liquid soaps in the showers.
We were not able to get a viewing prior to loosing our deposit which was inconvenient. The property manager wanted $75 to check in before 5:00 to setup which was late. She also wanted to charge for every person over eight. There were four bathrooms not five. The property manager did not seem concerned at all with any deficiencies or discrepancies.
Beautiful home and super spacious! Quiet and friendly neighbors that greeted us on occasion during our stay. Some recommendations that I would suggest to the owner is that there was a lack of "home" supplies. For our large party, there were only 2 bath towels, 2 hand towels, and 1 facecloth in each of the bathrooms. (which required using the washing machine more than I desire when on vacation) The kitchen was supplied with minimal items and it would be more convenient to have more storage containers, cookware, utensils, etc. Upon entry, we were provided the wrong code which took some time to resolve with the owner. However, the owner was engaging and prompt with other requests throughout our stay.
My children, grandchildren and I planned a surprised 60th birthday weekend for my husband. This beautiful home provided us with enough rooms and bathrooms to accommodate all of us. The property owner Lillian was awesome. She was very was always available to answer all our questions. We will definitely stay here again!
I had such a wonderful stay at this property for my wedding weekend. Lilly was a phenomenal host, her communication was spot on and she answered any question that I had. I had a large bridal party group that all came from out of state outside of myself and my now husband that stayed at this location. The house was gorgeous, clean, and in a great location, and it was like a mini vacation that was able to accommodate such a large group. I would definitely recommend this location to anyone as it will meet all your needs and Lilly was a great host! Cannot wait to stay again! :)
A few of my cousins came to visit from Cali, Louisiana, and Vegas for the weekend. It was great. House was beautiful. Itâs some ways from the city, but it was still worth it.
The host responds very quickly if/when needed.
The house was beautiful! Every room was breathtaking! The pictures were on point. We were in town on a Girls' Trip celebrating a birthday. The staircase was a gorgeous backdrop for pictures. We were not disappointed!
