Great place to stay! We loved the location of it being right by the trail. My husband and I took the bikes out one day for a ride. There was a small park right across the road for the kids to play and a bigger one right down the road. We hope to be back soon!!

Birthday party weekend

Property was clean and well laid out, we were able to put the baby in the second bedroom which was great for naps. The convenience of walking the Trail to restaurants and shops was great! The kitchen had everything we needed. My only recommendation is to have more hooks in the bathrooms to hang towels to dry.
