Dream retreat w/elevated comfort sleeps 12

SageRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

We stayed here with 4 generations of family - from a 9month old to a 92 year old. And this house was perfect! It’s a split level but minimal stairs. Large kitchen/dining/living/patio great for gathering. Plus the kitchen and linens were stocked to host many guests. The kids loved the arcade game. Will definitely stay here again!

Wildflower Riverhouse - Minutes From Downtown CF!

JosephRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Everything was great. The place is very nice, especially on the inside. very remote location, but close to the amenities of CF. Our only issue came with the management company and their communication. It was very hit and miss. A couple times they got back to us immediately, and other times it took awhile. We asked for a high chair to be in our rental when we arrived. After I arrived, I looked for it and did not see it. I immediately messaged the app and asked where it was, or if one could be delivered. It took them almost 24 hours, but they eventually delivered one. Other than that, it was a great weekend.

Apartment in Vinton

Perfect 1-bedroom rental unit with parking

Cory & RobRating, 5 stars5 months ago

This Airbnb was phenomenal. The space was beautiful, the kitchen had everything we needed. The bed was just right - not too firm yet still supportive. I loved how they supplied a variety of bed linens so we could find the right warmth level. Bath linens were plentiful and high quality. My only suggestions would be to add a second towel hook in the bathroom, a couple robe hooks in the bedroom (to hang your clothes) and maybe a small bistro-sized dining table. The WiFi was a little spotty sometimes but worked well most of the time. Overall this apartment was comfortable, spacious and close to everything. By far the best place to stay in Vinton and honestly one of the best Airbnbs we’ve ever stayed at, period. We will 100% be staying here in the future.

Cozy downtown studio!

JillRating, 5 stars3 days ago

What a wonderful place to stay in downtown Waverly Tim was the best host he gave me upfront information that was very helpful and checking in into his studio apartment. During the day, he stayed in communication with us to make sure everything was perfect and then he let us know what was expected of us before we left so it may check out super easy. We would definitely recommend his space and renting from him.
