We stayed here for numerous days in September. The house is very clean, beautifully decorated, has a great backyard, the kitchen has everything you need, and a great location. The owner Molly is very easy to work with. We look forward to staying again.

A Brief Visit

Cozy place to stay while my son and I visited with my daughter who is a student at SDSU. Very comfortable stay, much better than a hotel.

Quirky but great

This home was really great for our family of five. It was a great location - close to everything and had all we needed to relax and enjoy Brookings. The layout is interesting but there is plenty of space and the backyard is a big bonus. Check-in was a breeze as well.

This was a perfect home for our stay. We came from Colorado to visit our daughter who is going to SDSU. It was so close to campus, grocery store and places to eat. The neighborhood was friendly and safe. Molly was so accommodating and communicated very well.

Cozy and Love the decorations! Great location

We had an amazing stay here. What a beautiful home and absolutely love the style. We came for college orientation and it was very simple to get around. We will absolutely be booking again! Molly communicated with us very well and even sent her other locations to book in the future too. I am now going to buy a flower Lego set. Adorable

Christmas vacation

The house is easy to locate. Neighborhood is quiet. Check in and checkout went smoothly. Garage was a nice added touch. The back fence that was added was fantastic for our pet but it would be nice if the sides were also enclosed. Overall a great experience!
