Our stay at Herty House definitely exceeded expectations - wasn’t so sure what we were getting into since the photos were minimal on the listing. Realized I was their first guest, which is why they gave me a deal since there were a few unfinished details. Lloyd was extremely helpful and communicative ahead of our stay to clearly explain the status of the home. The house felt super fresh/clean and new but still had a charming feel of a historic home - location was perfect. So close to campus… Hoping to book again next fall for a football game!
