Great stay

Our family came into town for a memorial service and we couldn’t have been happier with the house. The host was great, everything was tasteful, comfortable, and worked well. We had plenty of room for our extended family. We would love to rent it in the future.

Stayed here with family for a wedding, we had a great time in this property. Very nice neighborhood, convenient. Really great kitchen. Bathrooms listed were not accurate, it was a half bathroom downstairs. But other conveniences helped make the bathroom situation disappear, had a great time at the property. Thank you

Fabulous House

Our family rented this house for graduation weekend and it was the perfect stay. It was very spacious and everyone had their own space to be comfortable. The house was decorated beautifully and had many amenities to make us feel comfortable. We really enjoyed everything about the house!
