Amazing place to stay!
This property was within walking distance to historic downtown, which was great! The decor, the ease of check-in/check-out, the attention to detail was all just pretty cool top notch. It was comfy, had everything you could need, had a fun area for the kiddos and also had a fun game that kept us entertained for one of the evenings. And btw, we did find all 25 keys! Would definitely recommend!!!!!

Lindenwood Visit
This was the perfect stay for our visit to watch our son play football! We have stayed at many VRBOs in the area the last 2 years and this has by far been our favorite! Great location to school and quick walk to Main Street fun. House has great layout and vibe! Along with a kitchen and dining area that worked perfect for our stay. The best part, for us, is they were dog friendly! Our fur baby travels with us and he is a GREAT house guest! It's so hard to find amazing properties, like this one, that love fur babies as much as we do! We will be staying here for years to come!!!

HOST CANCELLED ON US AT THE LAST MINUTE
Several girlfriends and I booked our stay for June 23-25 on May 27. On the day before we were to arrive (June 22), I received a message from the host letting me know that "VRBO messed up and double booked the property" and requesting that I "cancel the reservation." As a short term rental owner myself, I know full well how the platforms work - they don't allow double bookings. If there is one, it is the host's error due to not syncing calendars on competing platforms. When I questioned the host on the specifics and why she was asking me to cancel, she didn't have a straight answer and continued to blame VRBO. It was clear to me that she wasn't being 100% honest and was asking me to cancel instead of taking responsibility for a scheduling error. I spoke with VRBO and they assured me that there is no way for VRBO to double book a property and that under no circumstances should I cancel my reservation. If I cancelled, I would not get my money back. In the end, we scrambled to find alternate places to stay (necessitating one night at one place and then moving to another location for the second night) and had a great weekend. While I can't comment on the property itself, I was extremely disappointed that the host waited until the last minute to tell us about the issue even though she claimed that both bookings occurred on the same day (May 27, more than 3 weeks before we were notified). To date, I have not received my refund.

HISTORIC DREAMY PROPERTY
This home was exactly like the pictures. Very clean, very comfortable, and updated. Even the attic/loft was very comfortable with an A/C unit. Our son Will enjoyed escaping up there to his own personal space. There was the nice bonus of basic pantry items available so we didn't buy a lot of basics (ie salt and pepper, spices, sugar, teas) Gina was very kind and quickly responded to any questions. We would love to stay at the Blue Oak again. It was wonderful!!
