Quiet neighborhood, nice accommodations

There were three of us staying in this home which was quite comfortable. Beds were very comfortable and plenty of closet and dresser space. There were some dust bunnies under some of the furniture and there was a slight odor in the home which reminded me of old varnish. Because it was so hot, we didn't open windows. There was plenty of cooking pans and utensils for our use which we took advantage of. Overall, the owners were very responsive and we had a great stay. I'm still giving it a 4 star as it was much better than a hotel room as we could cook our own meals.

Worked out well for our quick stay

Overall things were fine. I just want to mention a couple things I would suggest. No crazy about having to pay extra for insurance of your personal items. Might want to get all the lights working as they should be. Larger TV's are cheap and set up a simple way to view. Very clumsy. I didn't come there to watch tv but it would be nice to at least check the news and weather? Parking was great!!

Prairie du Chen

The bathroom was not cleaned at all (I have photos) there was a shelf in one of the bedrooms where all sorts of camera could have been! There was ONE A/C unit in ONE bedroom. The living room was warm. When we left & returned there was a truck in the drive, there was no one in the house (thankfully) the owner said it was the yard caretaker - we looked all around & NEVER saw anyone?? The truck stayed there for about 2 hours after we returned. There was a HUGE cobweb right by the front door. There were instructions to NEVER enter the basement-unless we must use these bathroom or the washer & dryer. I would like to talk with someone from VRBO - I am not sure this is a house you want on your listings? I have photos to share.

Moldy, Damp, Smelly

Second bathroom was in a very musty, moldy, dark, dirty basement. It flooded the first night and we were unable to use it. Host made excuses about getting it repaired and never told us that it was repaired. When she contacted me after I left, she just made excuses that it would be better for next guest. I was very unhappy with my stay as were my friends.

Family Reunion

Allen the owner communicated with me via phone text and voice (which was much easier than the cumbersome VRBO online communication), and guided me through getting in to the house and some of the specifics like the attic fan etc. This house was awesome for us to gather at before my family reunion. Several cousins along with their children and grandchildren were able to come over for a cookout in the back yard. We also were able to heat up dishes for our family reunion. And due to the flooding our family reunion was relocated to the park 1 block away from the house making this an ideal location. Allen knew a number of my family members and even told me stories about them I had not heard, making the Homestead the perfect place to stay for a reunion. I really enjoyed talking to Allen and consider him a great host and a friend. I hope I get to stay here again.

On first glance it is nice

On arriving at this property it appears to be quite nice for an older property. There are a few issues though. Hopefully the owner will work them out soon so other people don’t have to experience them. We had quite a few plumbing issues while we were there. The air conditioner also leaked water in the floor. The owner was very nice on the phone, but when it wasn’t sure he was going to be able to get the plumbing fixed and it was a weekend, we decided to move onto another place. We had been there one night without plumbing and we left a night early. We were only refunded one night and not even a full night at that. So while there are some very positive attributes… Beautiful little town, the house could be really cute,(perhaps a really deep cleaning and decluttering of personal hygiene items, etc would help), unless he gets some of the physical issues worked out then he probably doesn’t need to be renting it. FYI the description lists the basement with a handicapped accessible bathroom, but it clearly says when you get there that the basement is off-limits. So having one party that uses a walker and depending on being able to have that part of the facility was also not a plus for us.

Boating weekend

The house was very clean and plenty of room for my group. The house has a nice big back yard and is close to the river and shopping. I works definitely stay there again. The owner reached out to me to make sure we knew the sleeping situations and how to get the best experience out of the house. Good stay!

Quaint Home Away From Home

The check-in was super easy, the house was everything we needed. We spent a week staying in the home. It had more than everything we needed. The house is very charming, definitely reminds you of your Grandparents home. Brought smiles of nostalgia. The location is perfect. Close to downtown, river and restaurants, yet far enough away to be peaceful. Even the trains weren’t noisy. Thank you Allen for your hospitality. We enjoyed our stay immensely.

Great family vacation, including s'mores around the fire ring!

This was great for my family. We had 7 of us here, ages 8-47. Two campfire dinners, cooked over the fire ring in the yard, with hot dogs (one flavor for each night) on sticks and s'mores. We bought fire wood from the bar 2 blocks away. My 8 year old loved the train conductors tooting at him! Two short, quiet blocks away were tracks, but we couldn't really hear the trains inside. Play ground a block away. This is 20-ish minutes from Wyalusing State Park. We did canoeing and watched the spectacular sunset there, after a short exhilarating hike to a cave! The 3 bedrooms were as described so we had 2 boys sleep in the living room, one on each couch. The pro for us - the fire ring, the quiet community, 2 full bathrooms, the price, the oppurtinty for a good family vacation.

Met Our Needs

The house is old (like grandma's house) but it had everything we needed for our stay and was fairly clean. The beds were comfortable and the air conditioning worked great! There were five of us staying, and the price for our group was unbeatable. The extra large driveway was a bonus! Will definitely consider staying again!

Like going to grandma's house, complete with creaky floors and eclectic/antique decor. Nothing fancy but accommodations were fine. Comfy beds. Good communication by the host. Great location to bike from and an easy drive to Wyalusing State Park.

Allen was very accommodating and helpful. However, perhaps because he is far away and has sentimental attachment to the house and its contents, it is difficult for him to be aware or unbiased on its cleanliness and odor.
