I have had a terrible time working with Rheannon Hansen and The Cassandra Lance Group…read more They have lied to me multiple times and even when caught lying, they ignore it like they never did lie. I own The Little Handyman. We were contracted to perform repairs at 3 different units at Rheannon's property. These works were performed on August 11th. 2 of the 3 units paid 10 days later. 1 unit was not. Our system sends an automated payment reminder weekly. These were sent on 8/18, 8/25, 9/1, 9/8, 9/15, 9/22, 9/29, 10/6, 10/13, 10/20 and 10/27 An individual email was sent on both 9/10 and 9/26 inquiring about the payment. It wasn't until 10/28- 78 days later, that I was responded to. The email stated "The tenant states no one from your company ever went". Lower in the body of that email, Rheannon stated "They never went according to the tenant." Please see the attached emails here (all personal information of tenant is retracted) Knowing this was not true (and this is where the story gets really good)- I replied with screenshots of the GPS and a text message with the tenant showing we were, in fact there. Screenshots also attached in link above. And here is the best part- Once I confronted her with the GPS and Text message to the tenant, Rheannon didn't apologize for lying. In fact, she didn't even acknowledge it. Instead, she tried to say our work wasn't good. But hilariously, she attached a screenshot (see attached) of the tenant stating we did the work and were there. The date of that response? August 14th. Thereby self-confirming the lie of us "They never went according to the tenant" and "no one from your company ever went" from the first coorespondence on 10/28 I won't bore you with the details of the threats to leave my company a bad review if we didn't drop it (which she did, then deleted, then redid under an alias as not to have a rebuttal with her name attached since she's clearly in the wrong). Or the threat to countersue in the event we put a lien on the property for unpaid service (our only recourse). Bottom line- if you want a dishonest realtor who will never accept responsibility and who stiffs local businesses. This is your team to use. There are thousands of amazing realtors in DFW. Don't support one like this.

My family rented both the cottage and farmhouse for a week In July 2021 after having to cancel the previous year. Warren, Mary and Ariela were great to work with and answered my emails quickly to answer questions or anything that came up during our stat. We enjoyed having both houses as it gave us room to spread out. We were able to do early checkin which was very helpful to bring supplies to the house. It was also nice to have starter supplies of coffee, toilet paper and trash bags. We did not rent the barn but some work was being done during our stay so some family was able to see inside. Those who did said it was it was a very nice venue. The beds were comfortable and the water pressure was great.

We are supposed to be celebrating 2 of our children graduating (one from college, one from high school) and our upcoming 25th wedding anniversary. When Covid-19 began, we contacted VRBO immediately and asked what the correct way would be to either cancel or reschedule, we also contacted Mr. Price. He immediately told us that there was nothing that he could do because he had already paid the property owner their money( when he advertises that he owns the properties) and he would not ask them for the $$ back. We asked for the name of the owner so that we would be able to communicate directly and ask what our options are, hoping we could work something out together. He said he would not disclose the owners name...understandable. After continual contact with VRBO, we started a claim file and they sent emails to Mr.Price urging him to refund us our $$ or reschedule...after they sent that to him, he emailed us saying that the Marriot is expecting us... There is a MANDATORY 14 day quarantine once you enter the state of HI. Also we spoke directly to management at the Marriot today and they said that ALL amenities are closed and that we must stay in our rooms the entire stay. There will be no pool, restaurants, and even housekeeping is shut down. Basically, we would fly to Hawaii, stay in our room and fly home. Not exactly worth the almost 8 grand. It is not like we are canceling because something came up, or changed our minds... it is a NATIONAL PANDEMIC!! You would think that a rational person would understand that and have a conscience. He keeps stating the "no refund" policy, but if he cannot deliver what he sold us.... beach, pool, room service, housekeeping, restaurants, etc... isn't that a breach of contract??? The airline we booked through also had a non-cancellation policy and they had no trouble refunding us due to the situation. We also booked a few nights at another hotel to extend our stay, who also have a non-refund policy, and they actually contact us first cancel our stay and refunded our money. It would be different if we canceled on him for our own personal reasons, but the fact that he sold us something that we won't be able to utilize the way it was advertised is it different story. We will never be doing business with him again!!!

My wife and I stayed here recently for our anniversary and to catch the solar eclipse that went…read morethrough Dallas. I booked the room -- the Anthony Suite on the top floor -- a year in advance. This place has a decent refund policy with enough advance notice, so if you are considering the Nethery Estate, book early. There are not a lot of rooms here and it appears from the pictures inside of it that groups/families tend to rent all of them for events, so it can fill up quickly. The estate is a nifty place. It is an older style home, but well kept. You park in the back and are texted a code for the gate to get in. The key to your room is left outside on the back porch and you go to your room as you would like. Definitely a colonial style home with a suit of armor next to the stairs (that's true). If you look closely around, you will see several references to Harry Potter, which my wife enjoyed finding and we looked around. Our room was awesome, with a nice couch and TV in front of it, a small table to sit at to eat, a comfy bed, and a separate bathroom with a cool tiled shower. Downstairs has a small sitting area, a bar, and another room has the long dining room table. My wife and I were comfortable walking into the place and going in and out of our room to activities as we saw fit. We did encounter some of the other guests, but only briefly. There is a small ice machine, which we used while we were there. And there is a mini-fridge next to it that guests had put in some leftovers as there aren't fridges in the rooms (which is all fine because Tiffany handles some of the cooking for you!). My wife and I went outside to hang out for a while because we had been at the zoo during the day and it was 86 degrees -- which is hot for us Oregonians for the beginning of April. We brought swim wear as the first amenity listed on Netherly's site is the salt pool. Sadly, it was not heated and still appeared to have some small branches from the property in it. It hadn't been warm enough for long enough for it to be available. The hot tub adjacent to it didn't have water, but honestly, I didn't remember anything mentioned on the website about a hot tub, so it was not anything I was expecting anyway. We can and enjoyed the back yard for a little bit, but opted to go inside and take a shower to cool off and then head out for activities. The first morning I had paid extra to have food delivered to our room. It is a good thing I put on some pants when I opened the door because Tiffany walked in to set down the food on the table for us. I've been to a couple other B&Bs and it is usually left outside, but I figured I'd not answer in the nude and that was a good idea. We were told she enters to set things up to ensure we don't eat in the bed as it is a nightmare to clean up (and I believe it). We had chopped potatoes, some waffles, and a little bit of fruit. More than enough for my wife and I. The next day we ate at the large table downstairs. We ate with a couple from France that had come to view the eclipse. Tiffany was very pleasant and talkative during that time. I cannot specifically remember all of the food, but it included more chopped potatoes, some toast, and I cannot remember what else. It was good food, though, and more than enough for me to eat. Tiffany also gave us a dessert cornmeal kind of muffin that was pretty good as well. For my personal experience, I look to the front page of Nethery's page that touts "Southern Hospitality Hotel Accommodations with a Pool" that the next page says is open in spring. summer, and fall. I don't think the site even mentions a hot tub, so no worries on that. It may not have been warm enough for the pool to really work out so early in April, but we were looking forward to having a more private pool than one found at a large hotel. The home is beautiful and sitting outside to bask in the sun is nice. Getting in and out was easy and the room we had was awesome. If you pay to have breakfast in your room, make sure you are dressed. You get generous portions and the food is pretty good! But look -- the pool thing aside, which I wouldn't want anyone reading this to make too big of a deal about as it didn't ruin any plans and wasn't the primary reason for my choosing Nethery Estate, we had a great time. My wife was very pleased that Nethery Estate was where we spent our 2nd anniversary together. It is certainly it's own experience and Tiffany is a great host, so if you are considering staying here -- book it.

It took nearly TWO HOURS to get all the food out for my family of four. What made it worse was that my husband's food arrived a full 45 minutes before the last plate. Since we all eat together...everyone except the youngest had cold food. I know this owner has gone through a lot and I feel for her. I've been here only twice - once after they just opened and then once three weeks ago. The first time was amazing! So cute and quaint and the food looked and tasted great. This time....I didn't bother taking pics of burnt pancakes and overdone eggs. There's no amount of excuses that make up for that. No cook should ever send out a plate that they know is wrong. The young lady even said "it's a little toasty" staring at the burnt pancake. While I'd love to say I'd be back....there's a lot of local places. I don't think I'll be back but wish her all the best.
