This house was a good option for our family of 5 to stay for one night. Pros: Plenty of space for 5 people. Comfortable beds. Plenty of towels and linens available. Safe and quiet location. All appliances worked. A nice variety of spices and other food in the kitchen, Easy check in. Cons: The "half bath" downstairs consisted of a toilet in poor condition in a tiny closet with no working light or sink, which made it completely useless. The toilet in the main bath needs to be tightened because the entire toilet rocked. The kitchen utensils were very sparse. Only one fork???

Its a cute house with potential. Would have been nice to have chairs to sit outside. The coffee pot had old grounds dried and caked inside so we couldn’t use it. Host was contacted 3x for the entry code before finally providing 30 minutes after check in.

I will be very upfront right away. The house itself is great for the price. It is off a one way street in a good part of town and it is far enough in “nature” we had a deer family visit daily as well as a rabbit. My issues I have gotten ahold of the host about but read some other reviews for an insight. I just hope even if they are busy they communicate better and work on these. There is a smart tv in every bedroom and the living room which is nice! Extra fans for moving air upstairs because it is a very large house so it’s hard for the ac (but not awful) to do its job up there. To anyone not used to it, the basement is “spooky” but well lit, do not overload the washer as it will bang. There is a game room where sadly the air hockey table has seen better days but they have table top games as well, even spotted a more “adult” one in the dining room on top the china cabinet which was humoring. Being located in west Elmira you have a nice access to getting to big flats via the “back roads” (careful in the winter time) Harris hill is a great destination spot to see the over look as well if you’re wanting some sightseeing and Tanglewood trails are great to hike, the nature center is fun as well! Being used to homes like this and a native to Elmira, I was content for the price we paid and what we got. The kids were happy and we had a safe place to sleep, eat and relax when not seeing my family and what more can you ask for at 100$ a night.

The house was not as clean as depicted and the cooking pans were in bad shape. Despite this, I liked this home. There was something about it that felt very welcoming. My family enjoyed our time, sitting at the table eating, playing games, and laughing. There was a book with the need-to-know info and more. I recommend this house and host.

It was a great experience and location for the price.

Our stay was good except when we arrived the fridge had a bunch of old leftovers in it. The dryer was full of towels too. Great house with lots of animal visitors. We had a Doe and her two fawn and bunnies and birds. We enjoyed our stay. A couple more pans for cooking would have been helpful , it was kind of bare and not much silverware. We would stay again though.

Positives - good location, easy check-in process, roomy, close to family & friends, in a good part of town, great place to walk Not so positive - still had Christmas decorations out, twin beds had a mattress cover that made it hot to sleep at night (put a blanket under fitted sheet seemed to help) Negatives - burnt out lightbulbs throughout the house, hot water only washing machine, silverware was missing, old onions in the refrigerator, cobwebs in home and basement, don’t get me started on the TINY unusable 1/4 bathroom We have rented numerous homes over the years. This house was not one that we would rent again. It reminds me of a house that someone moved out of and left odds & ends throughout. This home was memorable but not for good reasons.

Super cute older home in a lovely neighborhood. Clean, spacious and well stocked. Great communication with the host.
