About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Diamond in the Rough

Nestled close to downtown, our newly built vacation rental, named "Diamond in the Rough," provides a homely alternative to the usual hotel stay. Our cozy abode features two bedrooms and a bathroom, all tastefully decorated to make you feel right at home. Despite being in a neighborhood that's a little “rough around the edges”, rest assured that your safety and privacy are our top priorities. The house shares a driveway with the neighbors, but it remains a private and safe space.

Liked: Cleanliness
Communication with the host was very good. The shower was amazing and the beds were comfortable. The location was not convenient, especially for game weekends.

6/10 Okay

Jeremy Y.

Was pet friendly / Host was great and responsive. There was no itinerary to where trash goes or WiFi password and could’ve been more towels / wash clothes. Cleanliness was ok.
