Great Stay!
My daughter, 3 grandkids & I came for my class reunion and to visit family. The house was in a good neighborhood and very clean. It had a very homey atmosphere- just like Grandma's house should. There was plenty of room, dishes and pots & pans for us to make a family dinner for us and 5 of my nieces and nephews. It was perfect for our family gathering. The host was prompt to respond to any messages we sent.

Mom’s birthday
I would recommend Grandma’s house to anyone. It was neat and clean and have everything you could possibly ever need. Judi was a great hostess. She gave us a number where we could reach her anytime. Also stocked many breakfast items and condiments in refrigerator for us to use. All in all a most pleasant experience.

Amazing Stay!
Grandma’s was perfect for our family reunion! 5 of us coming from swFL and wanted a place to call home away from home and this did not disappoint. The amenities, the communication, the location, all was on par. Grandma’s House truly made our family reunion even more enjoyable. Thank you Judith!
