Great rental in a safe, walkable neighborhood. Everything was very clean, and the owners have updated just about everything in the house. Served as a really nice home base while visiting friends in the area. Our dogs especially appreciated the fenced in backyard. Would definitely rent again.

We stayed during a medical visit for my mom with two surgeries a week apart. Only a short drive from the hospital and restaurants/shopping made for an easy visit. The downstairs bath and bedroom fit her needs with a grab bar, easy step in shower, bench, and adjustable bed. Recliners in the living room were welcome for afternoon naps. The kitchen and laundry were well stocked and easy to use. I appreciated having a separate suite to myself upstairs with a lovely bathroom and wooded views to the back of the house, but still could hear mom if she needed something. This helped make a challenging week into a retreat for me, too. The host was responsive to questions about the house, and flexible when we had both weather challenges and car mechanical issues. I highly recommend, and would book again.

Thank you so much for your kind words and glowing review. I'm thrilled that our home's convenient location near the hospital made your stay easier during a challenging time. It's heartening to hear that the downstairs accommodations met your mom's needs, and that the recliners and well-equipped kitchen and laundry added to your comfort. I’m glad you enjoyed your suite upstairs and the wooded views—it sounds like the perfect retreat during a demanding week. I'm pleased that we could assist with any concerns and be flexible with your unexpected challenges. Your recommendation means a lot, and we would be delighted to welcome you back anytime.
