Visiting my daughter at college
This was the perfect place for me to stay and hang out with my daughter. She was able to come over for a home cooked meal and just have a change of pace from dorm life. It was a cozy little cottage. Perfect!
The house was clean and had a nicely equipped kitchen

State Wrestling
It was clean and exactly as described. It does have a full kitchen so you can cook. We had state wrestling that weekend and it was about less then 10 min drive. Casey's is right across the street. Car sat out front on street and we never had any issues. Definitely would stay again.

Good property bad location
We were not a fan of the location. It seemed to be a rough neighborhood with a rowdy bar right across from the property. Beautiful house and accommodations but not so nice neighborhood.
