From the pre checkin communication, to the curb appeal, to the well-appointed house, our stay was perfection! This host has gone above and beyond to prepare a home away from home for you to relax, have fun, prepare full meals, and sleep like a baby! Special touches like a fully stocked kitchen with clean coffeemaker, all the cookware and utensils needed, the snacks with a personal handwritten card, comfortable seating in the living room with extra blankets to stay cozy, crazy comfortable beds, multi-tap phone cords in place on night stands ready to charge any style phone, outdoor seating and lighting with a charcoal grill (and grill utensils inside) and even access to the garage for inside parking!! Really, out of more than a dozen vacation rentals we’ve booked in the past several years, this one tops them all in overall thoughtfulness and preparation. The only thing I would suggest (and not a huge deal for us because we bring our own) is to upgrade the pillows to a little softer and loftier pillow. But we had an amazing stay and if we are ever heading back to the area we will seek out this house first! Thank you for everything!

We stayed at the residence eight days and thoroughly enjoyed the property. It was spacious, comfortable, and very convenient to amenities such as restaurants, drug stores, grocery stores, gas stations, etc. The quiet street with minimal traffic was also a pleasant surprise. We entertained some family members who live in the area, and they were also pleased with the quality of the property. We strongly recommend this property as a perfect location for anyone to utilize when they travel to the area.
