Nice stay at a great house
We had 7 people staying at the house as we were in town for a staff retreat. The sleeping arrangements were comfortable, and there were enough blankets, towels, kitchen supplies for all. The backyard was lovely, beautiful on a summer evening for an outdoor dinner. The owner was very communicative and quickly answered any questions that I had. We all enjoyed our stay and would definitely return!

Wedding weekend
My wife was a bit nervous as we drove up, because the area seemed a little sketchy. But after meeting neighbors and seeing how quiet the street was, she felt better. The house itself was large and clean and nicely decorated. We rented both floors. The backyard is really lovely. We were there for a wedding, so we used the first floor kitchen for wedding cake and flower arrangements and the second floor for food prep and eating. There were 15 of us and everyone had a place to sleep. The upstair’s bathroom was especially nice. Both apartments were fine, but the upstairs was more modern. We would stay there again. We didn’t get our checkout instructions until the morning we checked out, and didn’t see them until after we left, but we contacted the owner and explained, and she seemed fine. We usually are good about following checkout instructions, and wished they were included in the check in instructions.

Great Work Trip
We loved staying at the apartment. We rented both the upstairs and downstairs unit for a short work trip. Both apartments were well- and distinctly-decorated and proved to be great places to both work and relax. The neighborhood is quiet at night and was a great place for a morning run even in the rain. Very smooth check in/out process, overall great experience!
