Perfect spot to accommodate a larger group
Several of us were in town for an event and needed a place to stay but also socialize. This was a great option to accommodate our larger group. Place was clean and easy to get to, great size and beds for everyone.

Great Place!
My bridesmaids and I stayed here for my wedding weekend. The location was great. The house was perfect for all of us to have our hair and makeup done in the morning without being too crammed in one space. There were lots of windows for natural light, which was lovely in pictures. There were lots of comfortable beds and 3 full bathrooms—no complaints! We would definitely stay here again if we had another wedding in the area!

Weekend wedding retreat
Close to the wedding location at Langdon Hall, our entire family of 10 had a place to call home while away from home.
House was everything we expected, although neighborhood is a little run down.

Work trip
Just here for a whirlwind work trip, so mostly just needed to use the beds and bathrooms, which were great. Appreciated how clean, spacious and well equipped it was (towels, hair dryers, shampoo, etc.) We didn't use the kitchen much, so can't comment on how well equipped it was though it seemed that there might not be a ton of cooking pots or pans if you were feeding a large group.

Wedding: Night Before
My bridesmaids, baby daughter and I stayed here the night before my wedding and then my new husband, our daughter and I spent the night.
It was a very clean and beautiful space. I could not have picked a better place for our stay. From the open concept to amount of rooms, the location was perfect!
Communication with the landlord was easy and always responded right away. She is very accommodating and open.
Over all I had such an amazing experience.
