Hosts were very effective at communication and quick to respond to questions. Check in was seamless. Property was beautiful and as described! We were plesantly surprised with the amount of age appropriate toys and dishes available for our 3 and 4 yr old grand children. If we ever visit the area again, we will definitely be trying to book this home for our stay.

Friendly and professional hosts, communicative, with easy check-in and check-out process. Home was spacious and clean, had three bedrooms and the ability to sleep more with built-in kids’ bunks in one bedroom, a sleeper sofa in the living room, and an extra cot and mattresses available. Beds were comfortably soft and we slept well. Backyard is fenced but not particularly private. There’s a neighborhood green space just around the corner, good for taking your pup for a walk. It was a pleasant stay and a reasonable price for what you get. We’d come back again!

Excellent Home!!

The home was beautiful, the bed was comfortable, the furnishings were very nice and everything was amazing! We loved having the extra room that a home provides, even if it was just my husband and myself. The owners were also VERY good at communicating all of the information about the home, and even checked in with us via e-mail to make sure everything was going well and see if we needed anything. We enjoyed our stay very much!

Would Stay Here Again

This property was perfect for us for a short weekend trip. The house had plenty of room for us, it was clean, decorated adorably and fully stock kitchen. Our communication with our host was easy and I'm only giving 4 out of 5 for check in just bc there was no email on check in code & info. Other than that, we loved staying at their house & will recommend friends and family to stay.

No regrets!

A seamless experience from start to finish. The house, backyard and game room had everything needed for all our age groups and pet. Everything was well stocked and truly home away from home! Only regret was that we didn’t have more days in our schedule to spend there! We’ve had the opportunity to stay at many rentals and this was in the top 10!

Family time

Spent a few days with our college aged daughter and it was great. House is spacious and has all the basics that you need. Even though we don’t have small children, it would be great for that. Beds were comfortable, newer appliances, and great location close to town. The only down fall is that it didn’t have a grill which I think it would be awesome but otherwise very clean and we had great communication with the property owners. We definitely will stay again.

Perfect house!

This house was an exceptional rental. Extremely clean, well stocked, and really comfortable. The only funky thing is that the 2nd sleeper sofa is in the garage, albeit a very comfortable and clean garage. The small heater they had fended off the 10 degree outside temp enough that the guys could sleep out there. There's lots of floor space, cots, sleeping bags, etc provided at the house if that's not your thing.
