What guests think

Across reviews, Friendly Falls Staycation is praised for its spacious, comfortable interiors and clean home in a quiet, safe neighborhood with a convenient location near Falls Park, downtown and shopping, making it an easy base for visits around the city.

Many guests highlight quick, helpful communication from the host. Recurring drawbacks include occasional check-in code hiccups, limited supplies (towels, toiletries, garbage bags), and some maintenance or yard-care issues like broken cabinet doors, a leaking refrigerator, or long grass. The large backyard and swing set are frequently mentioned, and kitchens are well equipped for simple meals. Expect a comfortable, practical home base with generally attentive hosting and minor quirks.

This is a townhouse with upscale touches that surprise you in every room. Each area of the house was decorated with care. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked with everything you’d need to stay long term. We enjoyed the huge back yard. It was landscaped beautifully with flowers in bloom and a swingset for the kids. Would definitely stay again when in the area!

House was clean. Could have used more towels in bathrooms as 1 towel per guest is no enough. Yard was mowed but landscaping has not been touched in months or years. Colunteer trees and weeds all around the house and fence. Refrigerator leaking water. Had to have a towel on the floor to keep it dry.

Our family had a great night's stay here as we traveled from home to the Black Hills. Our youngest kids especially enjoyed playing on the backyard swing set after a long car ride. We were able to use the pack and play and the toddler toys as well. This home was very comfortable for our family of 6 - plenty of room to spread out. The beds are very comfy and the kitchen is well stocked. Very clean too. We would definitely stay here again

It was a great stay. We loved the open floor plan and the larger backyard. We weren't aware it was a townhome until we were asked not to bother the neighbors because they were very stringent on the imaginary parking lines. We were happy we were close to to falls park which was amazing. We did run into a few problems on our 2 night stay: We couldn't put the trash anywhere as there was no trash bin. There were only 5 towels. The air mattress had a hole in it so the girls tried to patch it, but it slowly leaked out as they slept, and we had to purchase our own. There was only two rolls of toilet paper. Some of the dishes were dirty. There were no dish pods to use the dishwasher. There was nothing to wash the counters with. Several cabinets were falling off the hinges. If there were only two of us, this wouldn't have been a big deal, but we needed more than minimum. We were outside a lot and enjoyed the porch, but we were told to put the trash out there when it was used. We also tried to play volleyball and the grass was very long. I had to ask for the check-in information (which was provided very quickly AND we were able to check-in early. However, when we got there at 3:40, there was someone pulling weeds. We had to walk around it when we walked in. I think it is good for 2-3 people, but anything more is probably ill advised.

It was a perfect place for a sister’s weekend. Very nice neighborhood and perfect size place for our needs. Several cupboard doors were broken but did not bother us. There was no soap or shampoo in the showers so be sure to bring your own. There were ample amount of spices in the cupboard. We did not have access to extra garbage bags. Property owner was great at communicating.

Nice neighborhood, good floorplan. Check in process did not go smoothly. Maybe it was something on our end? Host/hostess's cell number would be helpful if problems arise, instead of having to communicate by going through VRBO website. Older people are not always tech savy, this was frustrating for us.
