Stay at daffodil

We checked in and was very satisfied the cleanliness of the house. We had some deer in back yard on the one morning and just sat and watched them. We drove to Mohican adventures which was about 25-30 min away. House is located in a very nice community. No issues with anything and will be booking in the future.

Friendsgiving weekend

Loved the house with 3 bedrroms/bathrooms that had plenty of privacy. Was a little disappointed that the hot tub wouldn't heat up to use. The wifi was great once the tv was conndcted to it. Couldn't use the bathroom in the basement as there was no hot water to shower in. The kitchen had loads of extra dishes, coffee, pots/pans, crockpot, etc

Good Stay

We had a great stay. Check in and out was easy, and the place was clean upon arrival. Plenty of room for 6 adults and 1 child. The basement did smell musty, and the basement shower did not get warm. However, our stay was overall good.

Our Stay at Daffodil Hill

We had a very good visit over the past weekend. The property met our expectations and made a difficult more manageable. There was plenty of room and we had all the necessary items at the property. When we have other visits to the Mt. Vernon area, we will surely consider staying again.

Exactly what we needed

Kellie was a great host with a beautiful updated property. My family was staying in town for a wedding over the course of a few days. The house was perfectly accommodating for 5 people; 2 bedrooms with large beds and a third bedroom with bunk beds were perfect for the fam. Bathrooms were nice as well - although missing shower toiletries as folks have pointed out. The House has been updated (probably very recent). I was pleasantly surprised when we first arrived. It looks beautiful and felt cozy. Main living area was nice with no complaints or concerns. Basement did feel a little damp and musty (although it too was updated), but we didn’t spend much time down there. We had a special accommodation request in needing an evening checkout. In communicating, Kellie was timely in her responses and offered a fair price for the additional time. I appreciated the quick turnaround with our communications. There was even a little “welcome” basket of treats sitting on the table when we arrived. A nice touch. Would stay again!

Meh

1. One towel for the master bedroom (thank gif I am paranoid and brought my own towel. 2. No charging outlets for phones (my teenagers were scrambling). I thought everyone provided for this nowadays. 3. The dehumidifier fan in the bedroom sounds like an airplane taking off. Why not fix this?

Perfect house in lovely area

Loved it, loved it, loved it. The floor plan is great-master bedroom on one side, 2 other bedrooms on the other side of the house, with the common area between. The deck and the birds/trees in view are just awesome, and we were greeted every day by a doe we named Daffodil. It was just short of magical. Be sure to bring your toiletries; it's post-COVID and there aren't shampoo, etc. in the bathrooms. There's also a bit of a shortage on cookware and dishes, etc. IMO. However, there is detergent and dryer sheets in the washroom. The breeze was so good we kept the windows open and kept the A/C off for most of our trip.

Perfect home for a family get away!

We loved everything about our stay at Daffodil Hill. The house was perfect for our family of 5 adults, one teen and 2 children (3 and 8)! Kellie was wonderful to work with, abs she answered any questions promptly. The kids loved the air hockey table, games and swing set! The kitchen had all of the tools we needed to prepare meals. There were plenty of clean pillows, blankets and towels! We loved the washer and dryer since we attended a family reunion and had lots of laundry from swimming in the lake! We look forward to our next trip to Apple Valley and another stay at Daffodil Hill!

Excellent stay despite hiccup

We started liking the property and the inside as soon as we stepped into it. The owner had taken care of all little amenities that we could need for a stay away from home. The entire house was very well maintained, neat and clean and well laid out. For the price the property had enough rooms and space for a comfortable stay for all of us (4 adults, 1 teen and 3 kids). Owner/manager was very prompt in responding to any questions we had. The water heater was not working, but Kellie was on it to resolve the issue as soon as we told her that. Unfortunately it needs replaced and could not be font while we were there, but she offered to make it up for that. Thanks Kellie.
