Convenient, Clean & Comfy

We booked this property for a weekend stay during an event at Nathan Benderson Park. The location was very convenient to the park. The home was extremely comfortable, clean and tastefully furnished. We didn’t have time to enjoy the back yard or the game room, but these amenities would make it very enjoyable for a family stay. I would stay here again for future visits. The property manager was extremely responsive and helpful!

The AC does not work properly, the rest is all good!

We stayed two days. We had good time celebrating and sharing with family. but the only thing we didn't enjoy was the nights sweating from the heat and the air not cooling. The host sent someone to check but she was told it was working normal. The technician told me the house is too old and it’s probable there is no enough insolation that’s why the AC get condensation really quick and also filter was dirty. But the rest was good, there is a game room and the patio is huge.
