For our purposes, it was a a very nice room and appealing for the eyes. The couch was very deep and difficult to sit on unless you pull your legs up and lay on it. The TV was very nice with a clear picture and pretty large screen. The bathroom sink was the only place to wash a used glass. The temperature at night was pretty cold and there wasn’t a thermostat in the room to adjust the temperature. The bed was comfortable. We didn’t really need to contact the host during the stay, but for the booking and check in/out process, the host was very polite and responsive. Directions were clear.

Nice little place for a cute couple getaway never been to Joplin area had a nice central location.

Check-in was very easy and it was clear what we were to do. I was unclear where I was to park, but took a guess and parked curbside on the cul-de-sac which for the most part was fine except one day someone at the end of the cul-de-sac was moving and there were a lot of trucks. That complicated things for a bit. I don’t suppose this would be a common problem, however. Another reviewer had noted that it was a little chilly and there was no way to control the temperature. I would second that. They do have a lot of blankets on hand, but I would say if you’re going when the temperatures are cooler bring a space heater. Only one time did I really hear the family who lived in the house and it was actually their dog. It was just one afternoon and he was very vocal about something for quite some time. It didn’t really bother me too much. They do have a refrigerator and it was nicely stocked with water and creamer for coffee drinkers. There was a Keurig coffee machine (I’m not a coffee drinker, but I did use it to heat water for tea, I had my own tea bags). There is no microwave. The bathroom was stocked with lots of big fluffy towels, which was awesome. The bed was extremely comfortable!
