Our overall stay was wonderful. The property was the most well equipped rental we have ever stayed in...everything we needed was provided and then some. The owners were extremely responsive and our stay was lovely. We would most certainly return in the future. You will not be disappointed!

Graduation

We stayed at Stefania's place for our son's graduation. It was exactly as described and she was outstanding with communication. We had a power outage on our last evening and she even went out of her way to make sure we had light and power to charge our devices. I can't say enough about the property or the host. Would highly recommend!

I had such a wonderful time! Daisy, my dog, had a blast with the squirrels and all the cats I think I counted up to 6! The place is gorgeous and very tranquil. I actually enjoyed myself. I will hopefully be back in the future!

They have thought of everything !

This is the best VRBO I have stayed it. It is VERY clean and organized. I loved not having to pack the shampoo! Very quiet street, easy to find. The owner's communication has surpassed anything I have had before with other owners. She is kind and very responsive. The kitchen is stocked with everything you will need to cook a lovely meal. I will stay here again for sure!!!!
