Great experience
We stayed here with a large youth group for three nights. There was plenty of room, the location is central the most everything in Utah County, and the large backyard was perfect for summer evenings. Communication with the host was excellent and they were always fast to respond and very helpful. I would absolutely stay here again

The VRBO we used for 1/2 of my family for my family coming in for a wedding. Unfortunately, the thermostat was locked, very hot, and uncomfortable in the home. It was warmer at night than day and shut down the AC unit. As the mother of the bride, my family didn't want to complain to me so had no idea. My sister from Europe said probably the worst she has stayed at comfort-wise. The location is good for guests going to Sundance.

Great location and Home
We had a small family reunion and this home was great for what we needed. The location was very central, as we had activities up the Canyon, in Provo, and Lehi. Check-in was super easy and the owner was fantastic to work with. Everything that needed attention, was attended to quickly and communication was fantastic and timely. The rooms were super cute and we had beds for everyone! Our littles enjoyed the fun toy room and the backyard. We also loved the Corn Hole provided. It really was a great stay!

A Convenient Location and Lots of Beds
This house is great if you need beds! It had a bed for 18 individuals. The number of beds per room made it possible to divide the rooms according to families. The configuration of the beds was different than stated online. We were able to make adjustments. Some beds were more comfortable than others. The house is older, so you do hear a lot of noise inside the house during the night. Because the house is older, some bathrooms did not appear clean. There is no tub, only showers. We were in Orem to attend a wedding reception. It did fit everyone comfortably-we had 14 people there. The house was cold and we could not control the thermostat, but the manager was able to respond quickly to our text and turned up the heat. The neighborhood is quiet and seemed to be very family friendly. We had our dog with us. The backyard is fenced and was perfect for him! The kitchen was well stocked. It made for a happy place to stay with family!

The Barn
Kitchen was way too small compared to how it was pictured. Screens were missing, so sleeping was too hot. Not a place for those who cannot do stairs. Cleaning was not done well, though the cleaning fee was substantial. We would stay again if things were in working order and it was cleaned.

The place is listed as a perfect place for gathering, but when I mentioned we were having family over for dinner (we had less than 20 people). I could tell there was panic. It worked out fine, but it added stress to my day. The kitchen is a bit small, but workable. We couldn’t find any extra trash bags anywhere. A big disappointment was you can’t control the temperature. It is locked!! We wished we could have brought temperatures down a few degrees is all. Don’t stay if you can’t do stairs. Two sets of narrow in places odd stairs. Kids loved it. Lovely bedrooms and decor. Plenty of beds. Couches comfortable upstairs not so much downstairs.

Just what we needed
After reading other reviews I thought twice about looking for something else but decided to keep the reservation. Everything turned out just fine. Location is great, host and communication with the host was great. The rooms in the house were really unique and fun. There was plenty or space for our family group there except the pictures of the kitchen don't exactly show how small that area is. The kitchen was a lot smaller than we expected but everything worked out okay.

Looks Better Than It Is
Where to start....I guess with the general upkeep of the property. If you are interested in seeing unpainted drywall repairs and several unpainted or half-painted walls, then you are in business. The back yard was destroyed upon arrival. Chairs laying on their sides, bbq half apart and cover blown away, trash on lawn, used towels on lawn, dog doo on lawn, etc. Let's move on to the kitchen.....how about 1 dishwasher pod for a 5 bedroom house (that we had full) for 3 nights, or one roll of paper towels, or no replacement trash bags? The trash compactor is apparently really important to the owner, as the first text I got from her was quite long and all about the importance of using it. Well it doesn't work. Another oddity. When we left on Friday the owners showed up. When we left on Saturday the owners showed up. That seems really weird to me. They should have cleaned the place up and dealt with the trash that they sorted through for an hour prior to or after we left. I guess the camera on the shed let's them know when you are away and they feel it appropriate to come over. Lastly, if all you care about is a house that will sleep alot of people, this one will just suffice.

Really cool old house!
We love the character of old houses and this one is great! Plenty of room for a large family. Multiple ports cribs for babies. Bedrooms on all levels. HUGE tv! We wished there were a few toys for little ones and listing shows a bathtub that isn’t there anymore. Being that we came in the winter and the house is old and drafty it was quite difficult to balance the temperature in the house. There is also a friendly woodpecker who likes to peck holes in the front of the house. Only a bother if you’re trying to nap during the day. We did have a good time there and the owners were quite attentive when we had questions or needed something. That is worth a lot! Thank you Carole

Great property, but false promises to book
This property was great and we were really excited about it. But there were a few instances that felt a bit “smoke and mirrors” When we were determining a place to book it was really important to us that the host was accommodating to large group events. I had told her up front it would be for an out state wedding weekend and we were hosting the dress rehearsal there. She has said they’ve done events there and have tables and chairs and would be happy to help in anyway for the event. after booking I regularly checked in with her (being the anxious bride I was) and afterwards she had said there were in fact no table and chairs she could supply, no early check in for us to set up, and when she said she would notify us for early check in she never did so we rushed to set up our event because we were never notified as promised. There were also no garbage bags supplied in the house. She has told us they only use a compactor and that should suffice. For large gatherings that just isn’t enough so we were fine with going out and buying some and leaving them behind for future renters but then she charged us for trash cleanup because the trash cans she supplied couldn’t hold all of our trash. This is a great location, very clean, but would not recommend hosting large events here until host can accommodate that.

Large Family (s) Stay for youngest daughter's Wedding.
This home is so perfectly unique and charming. Everyone in our large family, Grandparents, married children, hence 10 grandchildren. The age range staying in the home was 4 to 65, and we all loved staying there. There was a place for everyone to call their own and then some. With our large family group of 18, we never felt crowded or as if we were in someone's way, or under foot. It was the perfect home with the perfect spice that intrigued the children's minds and imaginations. They had so much fun there and even the two teen age girls loved their bedroom and the home! Thank you so much for everything. I do hope we will have a opportunity to come and stay again.

Family reunion
Carole, the host, was terrific to deal with - accommodating and immediately responsive! Location and neighborhood were great. Bedrooms and baths were all that we needed, clean and supplied with linens, towels, paper supplies. Kitchen was well-stocked with dishes and utensils. I have discussed with Carole that the tub mentioned in the listing, that we had intended to use for the kids, is no longer there. Also advised her that floors and windows would have benefitted from additional cleaning. We rented the property for a family post-COVID reunion that included 3 toddlers and would have liked to be able to 'gate' several sets of stairs that couldn't be blocked off, although I'm aware that there was no such claim made in the listing. In summary, staying here enabled our family vacation but I would look for another property if we were to return.
