This VRBO was absolutely perfect, incredibly homey and comfortable from the moment we walked in. We especially appreciated the YouTube TV access, which let us catch the Husky game with no hassle. The location was ideal, tucked away in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood but still close to everything we needed. The beds were super comfy, and the full kitchen made it easy to feel right at home. We had a great stay and will definitely be coming back!

Very convenient location!

This charming older home is a perfect location to enjoy downtown and the river biking/walking trail. The description of the property is spot on and the house was very clean. You’ll find everything you need.

Not long enough

The decor and attention to detail made me feel at home. I found a smile on my face being in this cottage. I thought I booked it for 2 nights so unfortunately I did not get to enjoy my stay as planned.

Wonderful stay at this property

We have done a lot of VRBO staying in the area and this is a top three experience. Clean, well-appointed, great amenities, and extremely charming older renovated home. We were visiting family during the days and enjoyed early mornings and evenings here. Happily surprised with the smart TVs with YouTubeTV and other apps available. Kitchen is extremely functional. Overall a high quality, extremely high value experience. We look forward to staying again in the future if available.

Great Clinton Home

The Kruse House did not disappoint-the vrbo description was clear and accurate. Perfect for 2 couples or small family. It was a great place to stay while we visited family in the Clinton area for our brother’s 80th birthday. We would definitely recommend the Kruse House and hope to return in the future
