I cannot say enough great things about the Carriage House and the host. The communication with Tabitha was always easy going and she returned messages almost instantly. Easy to find with the directions and plenty of parking space. The house was spotless!! It was stocked the best of any short term rental I have ever stayed at from the kitchen to linens and more. It had plenty of storage space in closets, a full laundry room and large bedrooms. It just had a wonderful cozy feel, and the outdoor patio is beautiful as well as the campfire pit and grill. It makes a great spot for family members to meet up and catch up. Terrific for all ages. Had toys for younger kids, TVs in both living rooms for everyone to spread out. The coffee bar off the kitchen was a really nice touch, too. The location was so serene and peaceful. We heard coyotes howl one night which was very cool. Beautiful plants and flowers all over, and a very well maintained home. I cannot recommend the Carriage House enough, and if I was ever in Elgin again, I would definitely want to stay here.
