A nice place to stay
The house was very clean, it had plenty of towels, kitchen supplies and an over all home feeling. The only thing I would have liked to have had was more than two seats in the living room to watch TV and some kind of dresser to put your clothes in. It was decorated very cute and I loved all the little notes telling you how to turn things on or what switches did. The owner was very accommodating to our late flight out and since she had availability allowed is a late afternoon checkout.

Alumni weekend
Beautiful house which I remember during my days of living in Chassell at the Sig Rho house back in the early 90's. We stayed with friends in the adjoining property so there were no conflicts, neighbors were respectful and quiet. Had dinner several times on the back deck. Plan on being back for future visits to the area.
