Great rental. Location is safe and secure. Central Mt.Washington and walkable to downtown and restaurants. Farmer market on the weekends was 2 blocks away and great. Awesome hosts and fast communication. Cant get much better for a Vrbo rental. Open floor plan wokred for me as a solo traveler. 30 days mid/late summer stay.

Perfect for a large group

This was our 2nd time staying at this property while spending a couple days at Kentucky Kingdom. Very clean, responsive owners, lots of space, and the young adults and kids loved the pool table and basketball goal. It is one large open space with a small bathroom (shower is very small) but perfect for spending time together and a very affordable place to stay when you have a large family. We will be back next year!

It's not perfect, but a very affordable place to crash

If you're looking for a good enough, very inexpensive place for a lot of people to crash, this house is perfect. It's basically a giant room with 3 queen sized beds, 2 smaller couches, and a lot of space to put up air mattresses. It's got a bathroom with a decent shower, a kitchenette with a full-sized fridge and sink, and plenty of space. The place has some quirks and is a little rough around the edges, but it's got everything you need for a short stay. Is it the nicest or most luxurious place? No. Is it one of the best bargains you'll find on VRBO? Yes!

Basic needs at a fair price

Convenient location and dog friendly. Nice host who was very responsive. Some basic items are there. Bring forks, charcoal, grill brush and paper towels. Might ask if grill still works. The listing advertises games which is why we rented it for our teens but the games were not there or broken. The shower is tiny and not for average or large people. Shower curtain isn’t secure, constantly falling. Covered parking a plus.

Super functional overnight spot

Our family of 8 stayed here as a half-way point on summer vacation. The property was exactly as described- clean, pleasant and easy to access. We ordered pizza, watched a movie, the kids played pool and bags and shot the basketball a couple of times, then we crashed. It is not at all fancy- the couches have slipcovers and one is missing the back cushions, the beds do not have headboards, there was one sharp knife and no oven. But for our purposes, it was *perfect!* It was far cheaper than the two hotel rooms we would have had to book and very comfortable. Also, we had a vehicle crisis and Kati was so accommodating. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you, Kati.

No amenities that are in the pictures! Need to update listing to match what's ACTUALLY at the place.

The big nice open space was awesome! We needed a place to have a cookout for my mom's birthday/4th of July and this building was very spacious for us. The host was friendly and easy to communicate with. I WANTED to give this place more stars but there were things that need to be updated on the listing. There is no basketball hot shot game inside. There is no foozeball table inside. The small billiards table was so off balance the balls roll before you can even shoot so it was basically unplayable. The Cornhole boards kept falling after you hit it with bean bags. The hot plates on the kitchen do not work We couldn't get any of them to turn on. I like getting what I thought I was paying for so very disappointed for the kids to not have anything to really play with like we thought.

Just what we needed!

We stayed for our son's wedding. Neighborhood was quiet. The property was clean and well lit. Bathroom had everything we needed. I do want to point out that if you're a large, or very tall person, the shower is but awkward, but it suited our needs. Having no weight/breed restriction listed, with approval we were able to bring our two big dogs (a Newfoundland, 95#, and a Boxer-mix, 90#), and at a competitive fee. Communication was great and and host was very accomodating, allowing us to have some family members we hadn't seen in a while hang out a couple of evenings. There was plenty of seating and the beds had fresh linens. We had our three teens with us. Two slept in the two smaller beds, and one wanted to sleep in the couch. With a pool table and corn hole, our teens were able to entertain themselves on our downtime. The only thing we were disappointed with was that the two things the kids and we were excited about -- the double-shot basketball hoops game and the foosball table -- were not there, as listed in the description and pictures. I would suggest to the host to update your listing and pictures as soon as possible, or return the games to the room. Overall great stay in this huge room!
