Lovely place for a family to stay for Wesleyan‘s graduation! The place is well-appointed with a great floor plan. Our host was very kind and timely. We will always have a happy memory of our long weekend at Lake Shore Drive. Thank you so much!

Extremely responsive hosts that take care of their guests! We found an important item left behind by a previous guest and let the host know, and they drove over promptly to retrieve it and make sure it was returned to the guest - above and beyond as far as we were concerned! The house was beautiful, in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood with great amenities inside and out. The location was perfect for my wife, parents, and our young kids. The kids are already asking to go back!

Great long weekend!
5 adults for a local college graduation. Lovely outside decks for relaxing/dining. Kitchen has large refrigerator/freezer. Kitchen cabinets are literally filled with any cooking/baking needs you may have. Our weekend required heat and AC (of course, New England!). Both systems provided the necessary comfort.

Beautiful and spacious home
We were in town for our daughter’s wedding. This house was perfect for our family. Plenty of space, super clean, well equipped kitchen. The living area was very comfortable, the deck was an added bonus. The beach is right across the street! Really perfect.

Great house and great location
We loved our stay at this home. Super clean, spacious and very comfy beds.
Service Fees are too high though. We’ve rented quite a few places and never had double fees before.

Perfect Stay!
Our family stayed in this lovely home for Wesleyan’s homecoming weekend and it was fantastic! The location is close to campus and right across the street from a beautiful lake. The house is spacious and clean with all the thoughtful amenities you could need. We can’t wait to come back next time we’re in the neighborhood. Thanks for making our stay so wonderful Caroline!

Quiet, comfortable home
This is a lovely, newly renovated house in a very quiet location. We had 3 couples for a family get together with space for all at dining room table, living room and even at outdoor firepit without needing to move chairs everywhere. It did seem like they have not quite finished the update -no towel racks in any of the baths, minimal pots and pans and inability to adjust temp makes it a little less comfortable. Despite these few quirks I would recommend it and I would certainly rent it again.
