stayed here while in town for work and couldn’t have asked for a better place. It was clean, quiet, and comfortable — perfect for getting rest after long days. The Wi-Fi was reliable, check-in was simple, and the host was great to communicate with. I’d definitely stay here again on future work trips.

Cute historic home
The house was so cute with the built-in, historic features. It was very close to Augustana, which was our reason for visiting. There were a couple of things that anybody renting should be aware of - they do not allow dogs in the bedrooms and the check out time is earlier than expected at 10 AM. Other than that, it was a good stay.

Nice place
The house is very nice, comfortable furniture and beds. I was a little put off because they ask that pets not be allowed in the bedrooms and the yard isn’t completely fenced in, so that seems not so pet friendly to me. But otherwise a nice stay.

Convenient location
When we arrived, we couldn't get the lock code to work. We quickly got a response and got a code to get us into the property.
The back yard was nice. We don't have a dog anymore, but the level area for a dog was will built with no gaps that a dog could squeeze through.
It was so easy to get to most things we wanted or needed.
The beds were all very nice. There were plenty of extra linens and bedding if needed.
We would definitely recommend staying here.
