Mishawaka Stay

Your quick responses have been appreciative and overall experience has been ok. I understand the house itself is over 100 so things are limited. 1. The "bedroom" that is a sun room needs addressed on the ad. Had all the families actually came thru and stayed at location it wouldn't have worked, as no one could have stayed in that room. 2. The ac issue for 2nd floor, was taken care of quickly.. thank you 3. There was soiled linen and blood on a pillow. 4. Allergies could be an issue with the dust built up around the house (under beds, on table legs, fixtures and between rails on stairs). 4. My biggest issue, was the workers entering house with no notice. Just like any other rental I should have received notice that house was being entered.

Overall property was pleasant, clean, and in a good location. There were overgrown weeds, and minor repairs needed throughout the home. Some of the bed sheets were stained. Marie May

Quirky old home with room for improvement

We were an extended family of 10 persons (teenagers through 80 year old grandparents) who stayed in this home for Thanksgiving week. It is a beautiful old home and the pictures are accurate. What the pictures don't tell you, however, is how the rooms are laid out. Of the rooms on the 2nd floor with queen beds, only one of those is private. In order to access the large room on the 3rd floor with the 3 beds (and with the only other full bath which I will get to later), you have to walk through the only other room with a queen bed. The bathroom on the 2nd floor is a nice full bath with tub/shower. Unfortunately we had only luke warm water for the first several days of our stay. We mentioned this several times to the "handyman" (whom we got to know quite well) and finally, after we figured out that it was due to a setting on the temperature control in the tub and not due to the hot water heater (which stopped working twice), we insisted that the temperature be increased. (By this time several in our group had resorted to sponge baths out of the sink). (Turns out they had set the "anti-scald" setting on the tub too low). Regarding the full bath on the 3rd floor, it is actually a bathroom that was built in to a dormer off the large attic bedroom. It is completely open in to the room, although the owner has put a screen up that provides some privacy for sight. Of course the sounds and smells still flow freely into the bedroom. It is only realistic for the persons staying in this room to use this bathroom (3-4 persons), which means that everyone else uses the 2nd floor bathroom. Upon our arrival, we were unable to figure out how to turn on the lights in one of the rooms on the 2nd floor and in the bathroom on the 3rd floor. The handyman came right over and assessed the situation. He was unable to fix the light/fan in the bedroom so gave us a 2nd table lamp to use. Regarding the lights in the 3rd floor bathroom, he said "we haven't gotten these to work". He then went and got a lamp with an extension cord to use in that bathroom. The kitchen is modern with some appliances. Ask what is there before you go. They have a whole cupboard of vases and a draw full of wooden spoons, but lack a decent frying pan. The house is drafty and we had some nights we were quite cold. It is in a reasonably nice neighborhood with great walking paths, but quite noisy at night with all the traffic. The manager is easy to work with. Unfortunately we had to call him a lot.

Older house with good bones but not fully renovated yet

Close to ND. Older home with newly renovated kitchen. Really only one shower because one bathroom not very private. Only one HDTV and it only had 5-6 channels, not including ESPN + other sports channels. Plenty of comfortable beds, but a few awkward settings, like sun porch and third floor stairs in another bedroom. Overall we enjoyed the short stay. but not up to our other VRBO rentals at this cost.
