The pictures do not do this stat justice. It’s beautifully decorated with very comfortable beds. 5 adults stayed here so the queen beds were perfect for us. The location was central to where we needed to be for a wedding in another community with all amenities nearby. This is a well maintained and clean home. There was a minor cleanliness situation that we had to inform the host of after we’d discovered it on the last day, and she offered a free night which we unfortunately will not be able to redeem as we don’t have a reason to be back to visit. I highly recommend this location and host.

We were in town visiting family. 3 bedrooms and 2-1/2 baths was perfect for the family! This was the nicest place! It was clean and comfortable. The owner thought of the smallest details, which made our stay great! The location was close to the Hwy, making easier to get around. When I'm back for another visit, I will definitely see if this is available as my 1st choice!
