Cute place, not so cute neighborhood

Would stay again

Scott is an excellent host. His communication is quick specific. I stayed at the house for a state wrestling tournament with my 10 year old son and a friend of his. Another coach and son came later as well. The kids loved the upstairs to play their video games and have their own space. Location is 1 mile from downtown, close to everything. The house was very clean and servicable. I would stay there again if back in Decatur. Also, I had left a sweatshirt, Scott mailed it back to me right away, I appreciated how available he was.

All good here

The property was clean and in good working order. The neighborhood is quiet and the house was comfortable with heating and everything else working well. We appreciate the coffee, and basics in the kitchen. Be aware that there is only one bathroom with a shower/bath, and that the upstairs largest bedroom does not have a shower. Getting access was super easy.

Great Spot

We were only here a couple nights, but we really enjoyed our stay. Scott really put a lot of thoughtful touches in the house, and had the place clean and ready. Scott responds quickly, and cares about your experience as a guest. You won’t regret coming here! And we look forward to stopping by again :) thanks, Scott!
