We ended up not staying here. We conpletely un packed and repacked an hour later. The house was incredibly cute and set up nicely. The house was also very clean. We unfortunately ran into a safety issue with a menacing person that made us feel very unsafe. I was traveling with my 3 children by myself and did not feel comfortable staying. Again, the house was cute but safety was an issue for us unfortunately. I messaged the owner as soon as we left the house and checked into a hotel but never heard from anyone in regards to the issue.

“Luxury rental” is a misrepresentation of this property. Accordion doors for some of the rooms and bathrooms was unexpected. The AC was not on when we arrived, hopefully just an oversight as it took more than 24 hours to cool house from 87 to 74 degrees, fortunately there are ceiling fans in the rooms so that was helpful. If you do stay make sure to try a frozen custard at sweet berries, right down the road. Really good.
