This is a beautiful, well-maintained historic home in a neat part of town -- walking distance to lots of attractions. The hospitality was off the charts. Every detail was thought out. Bed was comfortable, AC worked great, and wonderful spaces (dining room, living room, porch) to hang out in!

Beautiful getaway!

The property was exactly as listed with so many little touches that made it special. Communication was great and we were close to downtown shops and the casino. We will definitely stay again when we are in the area.

All was good except for the strange fact of 3 rentals at the same place and the older couple in the backyard was a little off putting.

Response from VrboOwner on 11 November 2025
I am sorry for the surprised of a shared backyard space. It is clearly stated multiple times on our listing that it is a duplex that has shared backyard space. And yes, one of the neighbors is a quiet older couple. This is located in a densely populated downtown area. As per the message sent immediately after booking …if you misunderstood the nature of the space, you were welcome to cancel for a full refund. My offer was declined. I am sorry it wasn’t as expected.
