It was incredible! Immaculate and well-appointed. So cozy and close to everything. Fresh and clean and comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our two nights. Parking was so easy in the large, paved driveway. Grounds had a cottage feel and were lovely! Victor has been so gracious and responsive. We love this VRBO…one of our faves!

Great stay!

Loved the welcoming touches throughout the home. We enjoyed a private stay. If you are traveling with a toddler, gratefully there are child locks on cabinets in bathroom and under kitchen sink. The host is responsive and thoughtful. If you visit in the late fall/winter you'll love the Christmas tree!

My husband and I loved Victor's house. The location could not have been better... Walking distance to everything in town, yet quiet, with beautiful views from the front porch and swing in the gazebo. Loved the cleanness and decor of the house. Highly recommend staying here. Thank you, Victor!
