Easter with LU student

We felt right at home as soon as we walked through the door. Traveling 9 hours with a small dog and needed home away from home comfort. The layout and decor were nice. We made Easter dinner and my husband was able to work from home. The beds were comfortable.We will most likely try to stay here again

Great Home Away from Home!

Excellent communication with the owner, the home was very clean and they thought of every amenity to make this a true “home away fromhome”. This townhome is located in a quiet, safe neighborhood. My husband enjoyed running the neighborhood in the mornings. The location is great. We were visiting our kids at LU. The drive back and forth was about 15-20 min, with plenty of restaurants and stores along the way. We would love to stay here again in the future if possible.

Great and clean and comfortable space

Property seemed much bigger and nicer than even the pictures showed. Great experience with the entire booking, the hosts even left small little goodies in the kitchen for us. Great overall experience The only even remotely negative aspect is the 2 parking spot’s numbers are so faded it was hard to know which spots were ours, but this seems like a complex issue and not a hosted issue

Definitely a home away from home

My family of 4 plus one friend were staying at this property while attending CFAW at Liberty University. It was the perfect place for our stay, with plenty of room for the five of us and with lots of little details thoughtfully provided which were helpful such as wireless phone charging stations, snacks, coffee pods, bottled waters, nice bath towels and plenty of hooks to hang them on, motion nightlights, etc. Too many to list them all! Beds were also comfortable. We would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful Townhouse

We were needing a place to shuttle hikers to and from the Appalachian Trail. Our son and his hiking buddy are doing a through hike and we wanted a place to give them a break and rest up from the heat. This house is close to town and the Kroger grocery which we visited a few times. The hikers have special dietary needs and we were able to fix their meals easily in the well equipped kitchen. This is a beautiful home near the end of the row of town homes and is quiet. I would definitely recommend this house and would stay there again if we ever in the area.
