Ever stayed at an Airbnb with a checkout list so wild you’re wondering if you should vacuum the ceilings, alphabetize the pantry, and maybe even milk the neighborhood goat before you go? 😂

Not here!

We’ll never expect you to complete a chore list on your vacation. The cleaning fee covers the real work — deep cleaning, sanitizing, laundry.
If you pull linens or start the dishwasher, it helps with timing and is always appreciated but never required.

We love hosting you — no goat chores necessary. 😅

We love our guests.
We love hosting.

And we love a good laugh at the “expectations vs. reality” of Airbnb life. 🧼✨

✨ What Our Guests Are Saying ✨
We’re starting a new little series highlighting the sweet experiences our guests have at our homes — because their stories say it best. 💛

This week’s feature: Jana & her family from Minnesota, who spent their fall break soaking up small-town charm at Lovers Lane Lookout.

From Z's Pizza night 🍕 to early morning donut runs to The Mixing Bowl 🍩, to cozy evenings unwinding in the hot tub — it sounds like the perfect fall getaway.

“Alexandra was such a lovely host! Her home is beautiful… The hot tub was a great way to unwind in the evenings and felt very private. We loved our time here!” – Jana ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We’re so grateful for families who make memories here and help us bring Waverly’s warmth to life.
