The hosts are fantastic and communicated efficiently. Had a sofa battery issue ( not fault of the host. We just love recliners). Our disposition was fairly late and he responded with a solution immediately and we were laid back again in 5 minutes. We traveled with our fur babies. They loved the balcony and we appreciated the beautiful sliders. The yard was fantastic and beautifully maintained. Our The check in and check out times later and earlier than we had expected, but the host worked with us as best as they could.

Great place to stay! Garage was a nice extra but the Ming size bed was very comfortable, the couch wasn’t bad, the TV was great and the host was very responsive to any questions, issues or needs! Location to downtown was well within walking distance so we didn’t have to deal with traffic while attending the Christmas Festival. Highly recommend this place and this host - both rate 5 stars from us!
