Thanks for the good feedback Shaun! We're glad the location was convenient for your work trip. If you’re ever in the area again, we’d love to have you stay with us!
Location is very convenient. The house met every expectation that we had and was was completely as advertised. Everything was perfectly clean. The kitchen was exceptionally well stocked with bowls, cooking utensils, and all the little things one might need.

Thank you so much for your kind words Katie! I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the house and its amenities. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime!
This adorable house has been upgraded in the bathrooms and kitchen, it’s blocks away from College Avenue, and was able to comfortably fit my family of 4+ my parents. We enjoyed our stay, and would definitely recommend this house.

Glad you loved the location, we also love being so close to downtown and College Ave.
Great place, 4 of us on motorcycles, each had their own room. Garage was a great hangout or the patio. Grill worked perfect. Easy access!
Highly recommend.

Hello Steven. Thank you so much! I’m so glad the place worked well for you and your friends on motorcycles 😊. It’s great to hear the garage and patio were perfect for hanging out, and that the grill came in handy! I really appreciate the recommendation, and we’d love to host you all again anytime! ⭐️
We enjoyed this rental so much! Thank you, thank you for having comfortable beds! It makes all the difference. The home has lovely finishes and the main floor has so much room to relax in. We will be back!

Thank you for your great review, Jody! We’re so glad you enjoyed the comfortable beds, the spacious floor and the finishes as well. We can’t wait to welcome you back! :)
We came to Appleton for our oldest daughter's graduation from Lawrence. This VRBO was absolutely perfect as a gathering space for our 80+ grandparents and our kids, and the location could not have been better. We could just walk over to all the festivities throughout the weekend. The house was beautifully decorated, clean and with all the amenities -- the beds were excellent and the shared living space was spacious and welcoming. Highly recommend!

VERY clean & spacious home with stocked kitchen and comfortable beds. Check in was a breeze & owner is pleasant. Liked that the home wasn't decorated with fragile items and had toys & books for kids. Was able to do laundry on site which is always appreciated when you have children. Check out was simple and required little time or effort. Would definitely stay here again!

I'm glad you found the home family friendly and clean! Laundry is a must-have for me on vacation as well :)

Thank you so much for your kind words Laura! I’m glad you enjoyed your stay and found my recommendations helpful. No worries about the coffee pot, things happen! It was a pleasure hosting you, and I appreciate the high recommendation. Hope to see you again soon!
Our group of 8 stayed at this property because we were in town for a bowling tournament. There were 5 bowlers and 3 significant others. The house was big enough that we had our individual spaces but we could all hang out in the living room/dining room to eat, play cards, watch football, etc. The kitchen served our needs very well, and the location was great. The house has so much character with the amazing woodwork and craftsmanship throughout the home.

I'm so happy to hear that your group enjoyed their stay. We also think the home is the perfect combination of spacious and cozy - I hope we can host your team for next year's tournament!
About the host
Hosted by Amy
Welcome! Our family is so excited to host you! We LOVE to travel anywhere and everywhere. When our kids have breaks from school you can find us in Door County, Wisconsin, on a lake in northern Wisconsin, visiting family in Florida, or spending time in the Great Smoky Mountains. We enjoy going for bike rides, hanging out on our front porch in the summer, eating ice cream and spending lots of time with family and friends.
