Fireplace was ok. Host was very direct. The stairs up to two of the bedrooms are slick/they could just use some mats or something. The fans and heaters in the closets are a nice touch. Just a few things but would stay again. After a couple of things were addressed, Overall nice. Host was nice.

The home fit our needs perfectly. Plenty of room for all of us and great common spaces. Wonderful location with plenty of restaurants to choose from. We sincerely appreciated having the steps and walkway shoveled within an hour of check out, which was extremely considerate of our host!

We had a wonderful stay, it is in a nice neighborhood with easy access to stores for supplies. The owner has done a nice job decorating with attractive and comfortable furnishings. Everyone said the mattresses were very comfortable and it was a quiet neighborhood. The two living areas both had comfortable inviting seating areas and the fireplace was very inviting.

A great stay! We came into town for an event. Due to weather issues, and flight delays, we arrived very late. Yet the host was quickly responsive and pleasant to every contact. The home was clean and inviting, in a safe neighborhood and provided just what we needed. I would definitely stay again.
