Excellent stay

We were so happy with our stay! Everything was so clean and beautiful. We got use of the massage chair a lot. We loved the view behind the house it was amazing to sit and drink coffee and watch the birds go by. The only thing I would do different is a hand rail going down stairs and an extra pot. Everything else was perfect!

Quiet and convenient.

Cute house along the towpath. The yard is fenced on 3 sides, would need to be cautious on the 4th side along the creek if you have curious animals. Very large patio deck, inside nicely decorated and clean. Appreciated the driveway parking rather than on the street. Nicely finished basement w very large washer n dryer.

We had a very nice, comfortable stay here. The neighborhood was quiet and the home was clean. It was easy to find due to the yellow porch light. Our host was very kind and responded quickly to our needs. The only thing we didn't prefer was not having access to the thermostat. However, our host was very prompt and turned the heat up remotely for us. We would definitely stay here again. Thanks Amanda!
