Fantastic Place

The house was easy to find, and in a great location easy to get into the town. Super clean, and having it be pet-friendly was awesome. It had everything you need for a kitchen, not the common barely enough.The owner was super responsive when we even had a small question on arrival.Highly recommend.

We had a wonderful stay at Folk Soul! It was everything we wanted, plus more! Comfortable and clean. Polished and cozy. Welcoming and warm. It's amazingly updated. The king bed was super comfortable. My husband and I laughed that we slept better at Folk Soul than at our own home. The location is perfect for going back and forth to town. We definitely recommend staying at Folk Soul!
