Being centrally located for our itinerary made this location its largest plus. While this is an older home, it was very clean. A grocery is within a 5 minute drive.

This was a nice place to stay. Host made sure we had clean linens, clean towels and the place had been cleaned. Host was super communicative and easy to work with!I enjoyed that there were some leftover toiletries like shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste and mouthwash. Also the kitchen was stocked with some spices and other things if you wanted to cook. They also have a drip coffee pot and foldgers coffee available. I love that all you need to do is put your towels in the basket and lock up. Thank you for not having 100 tasks to complete before leaving and actually utilizing the cleaning fee towards this, so it’s more like a relaxing hotel stay/getaway.I would mention this house sits on a bit of a hill with stairs up to the house (from the street) or steps from the back patio (if you park in the driveway). Also the only bathroom is on the 2nd floor- so just be aware of that if you have any accessibility issues. Overall, an enjoyable stay and I would use this house again!

Great house!
We loved the home, it had so many little amenities that made the stay even more grand. The rooms were perfect, the kitchen had everything needed - it was a great fit to our weekend. Would book again when in the area. Thank you!
