We wanted a place with great outdoor space and found it here. Just a delight. Home had been nicely updated. We drove the Loess Hills scenic byway south, enjoyed good food at 712, saw Moulin Rouge at the Orpheum. Great place to stay.

Very comfortable

This place on Caribou was very comfortable. It met all of our needs. I was worried about the stairs from the picture that the stairs in the back were very easily climbed, which it makes a difference with us senior citizens. The yard was beautiful. My dogs had a blast. Blast run running.

Wonderful home in a private almost woodsy area, but just blocks from sites and shopping. The owner Josh clearly cares and it shows! Fully equipped, nicely furnished, beautifully decorated, super spacious home with comfy bed. We biked the Wabash Trace directly from the cottage! Everything was perfect. I could not be happier with this stay!

You really feel at home here. The location is excellent, in the bluffs with a beautiful, meticulously maintained large yard. The home is updated, attractive, and well thought out for guests. It is also well priced! The owners are welcoming and attentive to their guests. We couldn't have had a better stay and hope to return at a future date. Note: Be sure and use the back of the driveway for easy access to the home.

Fantastic

The hosts were so accommodating! Christmas Eve they brought a thoughtful gift for me and even a treat for my dog! The house was very nice, in the summer it would be nice to enjoy the sunroom, but it was too cold. An electric baseboard heater would be a good idea as the house becomes very small without that space. The hosts were great to fix the little issues. The house was decorated for Christmas..including a tree, that made it special..we had everything we needed! Games and welcoming muffins! Very nice! Highly recommend. Thank you!
