A cozy home away from home
The check in process was super smooth. The beds were very comfy and the rooms were clean. It is in a great location to get to a variety of places, and the neighborhood was very quiet. Check out process was just as easy as the check in. We had a very good stay.

Great Wewkend Stay
This comforting house is perfect. The beds are great. The kitchen has all to offer. The patio is well worth the R & R after a day of running. The BBQ & fire pit at night is an extreme bonus. The living room is not small with 4 adults. The TV is a very nice size for any movie or sports. It also articulates to offset any glare. I would come back and stay here again. The location is great with everywhere we needed to be within 5 min.

Clean - Convenient
Stayed here while attending a family reunion. House was super clean and made a good base for me and my sister. While an older home, the house had updated light switches and locks. Close to everything but a quiet street.
