Short but great stay. The host was very accommodating and responsive and the property was close to shopping and waterfront dining. we were able to enjoy the fire pit and then off to the best slumber as the beds are soo comfortable and yet the best part was that it is pet friendly and my dog had a safe space that she called home for the night

This home is nothing short of magical. We stayed here for my mom’s birthday, and it couldn’t have been more special. Debbie had fresh apple pie, waiting for us. Upon our arrival the house was immaculate and decorated so beautifully. Debbie was so helpful with any questions that I had. We will definitely be staying here again!

Holiday getaway

We just wanted to get away as a family for a few days and this did not disappoint! Our stay was comfortable, clean and cozy. From the minute we arrived, we felt relaxed and welcome. Debbie was very attentive to detail whether it was the music playing upon arrival or the apple pie slices and cookies Highly recommend!

Hands down the best experience

The communication with the property manager was above reproach. The Apple pie was amazing. The bed and pillow quality was excellent, haven't slept that good in a long time. Look forward to staying there again in the spring..

Finally relaxed

We were so pleasantly surprised at how relaxing this vrbo was. It was on a main street but very very quiet. The bed was like sleeping on a cloud. Just what we needed, a wonderful place to stay and sleep. Thanks to Debbie and Paul

A little piece of Americana

Every year, we give our children a Christmas adventure. This year, our accommodations were part of the adventure and my children loved every minute. In fact, they were begging to "go back home" whenever we were out seeing the attractions. We can't wait to return.
