Great place!
This was a great house. We had the best time and was walking distance to anything we needed. The house was so clean and had so many great touches. The kitchen was well stocked and beds were comfy. What else could you ask for.

Amazing house
What a gem in downtown Marion! Literally walk to many fantastic restaurants and shops from the Bigfoot retreat.
Great house to spread out with a larger crew. The many spacious bedrooms as well as common spaces allow a big group to spread out when needed but also gather without feeling crowded!
We will be back!

Thanksgiving
This house is very spacious, and even though I have used larger homes for the Thanksgiving holidays, this one felt quite sufficient, and everyone had plenty of space. There was a glitch in the system, and VRBO did state that this house included a hot tub- not true-That was more of a disappointment to my guests than myself.
Be advised they don’t allow smoking outdoors anywhere on the property and have cameras placed for enforcement: A bit of a bummer as a couple of older relatives are smokers and had to walk to the sidewalk. It’s certainly fine to set as a house rule, but it wasn’t made as clear in the listing as it was upon check-in.

Fantastic stay!
I was here with colleagues for two days of work meetings and we needed a central location to stay for the duration. This home was perfect! It's a very, very short walk from dining and entertainment options (you can see many from the back yard). The home is recently renovated and beautiful to stay in -- our only regret is that we never cooked in that beautiful kitchen! Highly recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in Marion.
