I can’t say enough about this home. It was even more than what was listed. So comfortable and welcoming, just an all around beautiful home. Tiffany was a fantastic host, very responsive and so very helpful when I reached out to her. The proximity to the downtown area was perfect as well, which was even closer than what I thought it was. Couldn’t recommend more!

Beautiful home
The pictures are so accurate. Well stocked kitchen. I fell in love with the range! The house is within walking distance to the riverwalk where there are great restaurants. We loved sitting on the front porch in the evenings. I highly recommend this home and hope we can come back soon.
