Great location, very quiet and easy access to the interstate to get to the mall or back towards the university campus. Pam is great to communicate with from reserving the house to our stay. Fans in the bedrooms if you need a little extra breeze (or pseudo sound maker). All that you need to prepare a meal if you decide to stay in.
