"Infrastructure dated; staff personable and friendly; value priced accordingly."

"Loved our stay! The place was super clean, comfy bed, and very relaxing. We enjoyed sitting outside in the garden and the close proximity to downtown Essex was great!! Definitely plan to return!"

"Five of my college friends returned to the area to attend our 20th reunion and chose to stay at this beautiful VRBO about 25 minutes from our campus. The house was exactly as depicted in the online pictures/description. It was artsy, modern, comfortable, and beautiful, with various thoughtful touches from the hosts. Three of the formal bedrooms are tucked away nicely. The 4th/loft bedroom (where I slept) is wonderful/comfortable, but does open up to the kitchen, so make sure you're okay with a bit of late-night or morning noise, if others are still awake. I did choose on the last night to sleep in the den on the large and incredibly comfortable couch, so really, this house has a ton of options for comfortable sleeping!Everything was incredibly clean. Both the check-in process and communication with the host was very easy. Check-out procedures were also very easy!And the location of the house is amazing! The 25-minute drive to our campus flew by, and it was well worth it to be nestled in this beautiful wooded property. I already want to book this house again for our 25th reunion! "

"My family and I came for an 8 day event from a different state and wanted a clean and comfortable place to stay with our at the time 9 month old daughter. And this place did exactly that. Comfortable and CLEAN. The owner did a great job with details. Even when we had unexpected check out delays the owner showed human empathy. Great place!"

"Amazing Host. Fantastic trip "
