Visiting our UPS student.

The house was very cute and comfortable. Liked everything except a few basics (Salt,garlic, oil) in the kitchen would have been nice. Overall, it was a great stay.

Great stay!

The house was beautiful and cozy! All the beds are very comfortable and the bedrooms are so quiet. We enjoyed coffee every morning on the front porch. Parking was easy, we always parked right in front of the house. There is a grocery store around the corner which was convenient. Matt the owner was easy to communicate with and he let us check out late and found a necklace I left there. This was one of the best homes I’ve ever rented!
