Minnie's home was warm and comfortable with all the amenities. Nice spacious back deck & attached garage for easy unloading, especially in the cold. TV and wifi worked well, and 2 bathrooms are always a plus. Minnie always responded almost immediately to any message. We highly recommend and will definitely stay again

Great getaway spot

We spent the weekend with friends. The three bedroom was immaculate and quite comfortable. It was an easy drive to many must see locations. Out only complain was the window air conditioning units were a tad noisy and made for loud conversations during dinner. Otherwise an awesome stay.

Perfect for us!

I rented this house for 6 adults and one toddler, for a long weekend for a family wedding. The house was clean and comfortable. The host thought of everything. There was a pack and play, a booster seat and kids toys . There were board games, puzzles, and smart tvs for the grown ups. In the linen closet there were new toiletries for kids and adults in case you forgot anything. The kitchen is well stocked with basic pantry items. A very comfortable stay, thank you for sharing your house with us
