We've been using VRBO for 17 yrs., and have stayed at numerous homes all around the country, one of our favorite areas is around the Dale Hollow Lake area in Byrdstown TN. Melissa's rental, "Kylie's Cove" VRBO# 7850050, home was by far the best home we've stayed at while in DH area. The house is decorated beautifully, the king size bed is very comfortable, the Jack & Jill bathroom has an awesome shower, and the best stocked kitchen I've seen of the small appliances, pots and pans, lg. countertop mixer, large crock pot, & baking dishes & cooking utensils and the house was quite easy to get to, with no winding switchback roads, as unfortunately, we've found trying to get to with numerous other places, we could
drive right up to the front door, it's all one level, no stairs to climb, the lot is level with plenty of parking.
The only negatives we found was the listing says the house has a TV, and it does, 2 very nice Smart TV's with HD Flat screen in the LR and master BR. But what the listing does not tell you, . is that it doesn't have a satellite service, such as Direct TV, the only way you can watch TV, is if you sign onto YOUR OWN TV Streaming service...like NETFLIX, HULU, or the like.... provided you have one!! And unfortunately, we don't.
And although the house is well stocked with small appliances, it didn't have any pantry items, like basic seasonings, salt and pepper shakers, ( I bought a set and left them there for the next renters). .. sugar, cinnamon, garlic and onion powders, ect. It would have been nice to have aluminum foil to line bottom of oven for drips and splatters, and to line baking pans. With some other rental houses, we've went to a "Dollar" store for basic items, and still spent over a hundred dollars for even basic items, numerous times, and that all adds up at each rental.
And marshmallow roasting wire sticks would have been appreciated, seeings how there is a wonderfull huge outdoor fireplace chimney out back on the nice patio, and it's stocked with chopped wood!! But no way to roast hot dogs or marshmallows in it. There is a large round wooden picnic table, by the fireplace, but It would have been nice to have another more comfortable cushioned patio table and chairs set to lounge around in.
I'd rate this rental at 4.8 out of 5.0!!
All in all, I'm looking forward to renting this house again!! But next time, I'll bring most of my own pantry items with me, and a few chair cushions to sit on outside
