Awesome experience from start to finish! Becky and Luke were extremely welcoming and accomodating. The unit was very modern and clean in a phenomenal location close to many amazing places. The welcome basket was extremely thoughtful and they even put out a basket for our pup! Would most definitely stay again if we have the opportunity

Beautiful stay, very clean and cozy but very small, would not book for a long stay. Lacked an iron and ironing board which we needed as we were going to a wedding. Wonderful patio! Thanks so much for letting us stay for just one night!

5/5 – The Best VRBO Stay Ever!Our stay at Becky’s place was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The home was spotless—truly the cleanest vacation rental we’ve ever stayed in—and it had absolutely everything we could possibly need. Becky went above and beyond with thoughtful personal touches that made it feel so warm and welcoming. You can tell she puts her whole heart into creating an amazing guest experience. Every detail, from the décor to the amenities, was carefully thought out and made our stay extra special. We couldn’t have asked for more and would come back in a heartbeat. Thank you, Becky, for making this our best VRBO stay ever!

This has truly been our favourite property to stay at! From the moment we let the owner know we’d be arriving late, they went out of their way to accommodate us—offering to set up the pull-out couch so we could get the kids to bed early. Such a thoughtful touch! We were greeted with a sweet welcome gift and walked into the cutest, coziest little suite. Everything felt warm, inviting, and spotless. It was incredibly quiet, and we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We’ll definitely be making this our go-to place every year as we travel for sports. Highly recommend!

Clean, well-supplied suite in excellent location

We stayed for five nights in this clean, well-maintained suite that supplied everything you would need in both the kitchen and bathroom. The bed was comfortable, the shower had plenty of hot water and heat was easily available if needed. Communication was easy and all questions were answered quickly. The location is perfect and is near to many of the main attractions in the area. We would definitely recommend this place to stay when visiting this area.

Awesome in every way!

A lovely, cute, modern guest suite. Complete with everything you need for your stay, including a yummy bottle of wine and some delicious cookies and items for your pooch as well. The owners have thought of everything you may need during your stay! A very comfortable, clean and well maintained suite, in a beautiful country location, but close to so much. The owners definitely know how to take care of their guests and make themselves available if necessary.
