Great location, Cozy atmosphere

The property was well maintained and decorated in a cozy and comfortable manor. Location was perfect! Easy route to downtown or UNI, butost importantly - walking distance to my daughter's house. Accomodations were perfect for our 5 adults and two kids. Upstairs with the two double beds was perfect for the family. We will definitely choose to stay here again the next time we visit.

Grad weekend

Everything was great with the house 2nd time we’ve stay there! Getting the key to the house out of the lockbox was kind of a pain. Maybe a coded door would work better? Overall 5 out of 5!
