The home was cozy and clean and had everything we needed for the stay for the week. We used it mainly as extra space for people to sleep as my parents live down the road and during Christmas there is no longer enough room for all of us to stay. I would not hesitate to rent again. It was an excellent stay. Thank you so much!!

We had to visit little falls for a sporting event for my children. This home was the perfect place for us! With 4 of us and two being teenage boys a hotel room is far too cramped. This home was the perfect stay for us! The driveway was perfectly clear of snow. The entrance to the home was easy and just as explained. Waiting for us in the front entry was a welcome letter and a tin of popcorn, a very nice touch. The rooms were spacious and the beds were very cozy. The bathroom was a nice size and very clean and welcoming. The kitchen had every tool we needed to make our breakfast and fuel my teenagers for their sporting event! Thank you for opening up your home to us. It was perfect and we will search for it when we are here again next year.

We enjoyed the neighborhood, quiet. Lots of parking available--church parking lot available and easy to get in and out. The only comments, possibly put up handrails going into the front door and the area rug in the living room is starting to "curl" on the edges, which could become a trip hazard in the future. Overall, enjoyed the stay.

We have stayed in rental properties before and based on that, we felt it was overpriced. We understand it is a vintage property but the upstairs bedroom did not accommodate cpap machines and charging any devices. Also the living room did not accommodate the number of people 3 bedrooms would hold. Bathroom was fine

It was warm inside and took the AC units a few hours to cool down. The living room could of had a TV. The property had construction on the street and sidewalk so you couldn't park on site but park in Church parking lot next door. (I'm sure this would be temporary) Fire pit in back yard but had no firewood on site. Floors were gorgeous. Kitchen was large and a cute property.

Nicer than the local hotels.

5 stars! The place was very nice, clean, and comfortable. Everything was well stocked, and the host went above and beyond by leaving snacks, drinks, and coffee. There was plenty of space, and the location was perfect for getting anywhere around Little Falls. Would definitely stay again!
