We spent two nights at this lovely VRBO in Monroe while traveling for work and bringing our pets along, and we couldn’t have been happier with our stay. The place was comfortable, clean, and convenient, with a wide range of amenities that made it feel much more like home than a hotel. We especially appreciated having a washer and dryer available, even though we didn’t need it during our trip.The property is located in a safe and private community, and commuting to our seminar was easy. There are also plenty of restaurants nearby, which made dining simple and enjoyable.Our pets were welcomed warmly, which made the trip even better. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay and will definitely return if we travel to the area again. We highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Monroe!Thank you so much for everything!

Could Not Have Been Better!

Exactly what was needed during an exhausting move! The hosts are great and non intrusive. Directions to and for the use of the property and departure duties ( of which there were very few) were all clear and easy. It was all great!

Amazing Stay

My wife and I were here on business and I could not have found a nicer place. Fully stocked kitchen (Utensils/dishware/cooking), very comfortable furniture and beautiful views nestled in a gorgeous and quiet neighborhood. Hosts were responsive and attentive and quite kind. I cannot thank them enough or say anything negative. You will absolutely enjoy your stay
