If you're looking for a cozy home in a quiet area, look no further. There are some restaurants and stores around, and the city and nightlife is not too far of a drive. Book this home for your family and enjoy some quality time on your next vacation!!

The host was great no issues in that aspect. The house itself has a moldy musty smell to it. There’s definitely some mold in the hallway bathroom. Also, there’s a lot of water damage that you can see inside the house from where the roof may have been leaking at some point in time.

Our trip was lovely and staying in this home make it even better. The inside was clean, well kept and stocked with items that are thoughtful to a travelers needs. The house is laid out well. The beds were comfortable. The neighborhood was quiet. There was plenty of parking and the outdoor sitting area was perfect for those who wanted to enjoy the outdoors. My elderly parents were able to get in and out of the house easily and enjoyed the bedroom with the bath. We would definately rent here again if visiting the area.
