✨Recent guest review “We had a wonderful 3-night stay at Angela’s home. The place was exceptionally clean and very comfortable, with furnishings that made it feel like a home away from home. Everything was thoughtfully equipped, from the kitchen to the bathrooms, so we had everything we needed during our stay. Overall, it was a relaxing and enjoyable getaway, and we would definitely stay here again!”✨

The home was so quaint and lovely. You could really feel the love of the home in how it was cared for. Knowing this home had been in the family for 4 Generations is amazing! The upgrades to the home make it feel welcoming and comfortable without losing any of the old charm in its layout. Our girls loved the park that is a short drive (with young ones) or an easy walk with older children! The home is also right next to downtown and its shopping area. The host is very responsive and quick with her messages to questions. I Absolutely recommend this house!!
