Excellent lodging
We stayed at this house over the Christmas holiday. The location was easy to find, safe, and convenient. The house was charming and very clean. The check in process was simple and the host responded immediately to texts. Most importantly, the decor, bed, kitchen supplies, and thoughtful extras made our stay so relaxing and supported. The fenced yard for pets was perfect for our pup. Thanks for an excellent experience. We will return.

Great place
I took my family, wife and 2 kids (young adults). This place was very spacious, clean, and comfortable. Bedrooms were enough for all of us, living room and kitchen are huge. Granite counter tops are very nice. Laundry machines were very useful and convenient. Fireplace in the living room has a remote control and it was very nice. Kitchen is very well equipped. Massage chair in the main bedroom was a nice touch. TVs in the living room and bedroom worked well. USB charging outlets in bedrooms was very convenient. Hosts were great, kept in touch and had quick responses to any questions. Check in and check out was a breeze. 4 digit code for front door eliminated need for an extra key. We were all super happy with this location and it made the overall visit to WA even more enjoyable.
