Great location

Great location, unfortunately the air conditioning didn’t work in one of the units and could not be fixed during our stay. It was warm and uncomfortable. The cabinets in the kitchen were very hard to open I needed some fixing and there was not a lot of places to put your clothing in a few of the rooms. But the area was very nice close to everything and a good place for Multiple families.

Excellent Large Group Home

Myself and my party of 12 were in town for a bachelor and this home was perfect. Extremely clean, plenty of towels and linens, and most importantly plenty of beds. We had plenty of room to spread out and get ready to go out every night. Sally is an amazing host and I highly recommend staying here.

The house was perfect for our group! It was easy to get downtown. Great decor! Very clean and it had a lot of items that were useful during our stay. Sally was very thoughtful and had a welcoming gift for us in each unit. It was easy to contact her at checkout time for questions. SB
