Last minute, one night, booking was a nice surprise. Clean and nicely decorated. Note there is no air conditioning, but each room does have fans. Open windows can hear the evening symphonies of frogs. Has all amenities necessary for long visits. Close to downtown. It is an uphill walk so may not be fit for all. I would stay here again.

The house is super cute and clean. We only stayed one night so didn’t need the kitchen to cook but it looked well equipped. There is no AC but plenty of fans which worked well for cooling the house. If you are a light sleeper this might be an issue with the noise of the fans and noises at night (frogs and other animals). This was not an issue for us. Our host was fantastic too. Close to downtown too.

What a great house! It looks exactly like the pictures—clean, welcoming, and well cared for. The location couldn’t be better—an easy walk to the farmers market, delicious Video Game Pizza, refreshing shaved ice, and tons of other fun local spots. We were initially a little worried about no A/C, but there were plenty of fans and great airflow, so it stayed very comfortable. The absolute best part? The beds and pillows—so cozy and perfect for a great night’s sleep. We’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!
