This place was perfect. Perfect location. So clean and comfy. We enjoyed this place as much as any place we've ever stayed. The bedroom was so quiet, and the bed so comfortable, we slept great. Its like everything we could have wanted was there. The balcony overlooking main street was great fun. There was a parking pass, complimentary snacks and waters. Plenty of towels, soap, and a makeup mirror. My wife loved this, as its pretty rare in other rentals. Many try to acheive COZY, this place is truly cozy. We loved this little hideaway, and would stay here again in a minute. Thank You

Golf Rush trip with grandchildren

We thoroughly enjoyed this property. It is beautifully furnished and there are excellent instructions for check in and check out procedures. The apartment is upstairs, so stair access is necessary. The owners have worked out good solutions for parking, since curbside parking is limited. The apartment is located right on Hwy 49, which has lots of traffic. But traffic noise was not an issue inside the apartment, and we enjoyed watching from the balcony as the logging trucks drive by. The location is only steps away from downtown restaurants and shops, which is ideal. We certainly would recommend this property and would not hesitate to stay here again.
