Very friendly hosts. Met them and they were a pleasure to interact with. They had one of the most complete array of amenities that we have ever encountered in our trips! We did have some issues with losing TV service on our last night, but I imagine that it was not their fault.All in all a pleasant experience.

Relaxing Getaway
The house was wonderful. It had everything we needed & more. It was clean & comfortable and felt like home. The property owner was very friendly, easy to communitcate with, and very responsive. She left homemade treats & supplied other complimentary gifts. The house was located in a prime area for us to drive to the local wineries on the Shawnee Wine Trail and hiking the Little Grand Canyon.

Visiting Nanny’s Place was delightful
This property hit the mark for us. We were in town for a big birthday party with family and friends. While there was only two bedrooms we had plenty of room to invite over our family after the offsite party for pizza night and a big yard to play for the kids. Plenty of parking. Comfortable bedding and clean. From step one Lisa the owner was kind and responsive. She went over the top to provide complimentary foods that met allergy needs. Pictures were accurate. We would stay here again! Thank you Lisa!
