The description of the property is spot on. Clean and comfortable lodging. Host ensured that check-in was smooth and effortless. Close to downtown for a quick stroll. Professionally landscaped grounds. Board and card games for evening entertainment. Would definitely attempt to book this property when the situation allows us to return to Woodstock. Kitchen, coffee bar, and pantry were clean and well stocked. Five star accommodation!

We really enjoyed this home. We were in town for a wedding and had 7 people staying in the house. We were originally supposed to have 10 people in the house, and there would have been enough space for them as well. We had plenty of space to hang out and the house was filled with a lot of games and entertainment to help fill any down time we may have had. The house was extremely clean inside, one of the cleanest homes we have ever rented. It was very well stocked with anything we needed to make the week comfortable, just like it was our own home. Deidre was super responsive and a great host. The house was decorated really well with an antique vibe for the age of the house and we were surprised at the cute Halloween decorations when we checked in. Fun home, lots of space, super clean, pretty yard. Definitely a win.

The Perfect Place

Everything about this place was awesome. The built in sound system ranging through the entire house made out time so much more enjoyable.

Very nice home with lots of room for large groups. We especially enjoyed the backyard, including the pool and lawn games! The downstairs TV room is really nice too, and perfect for a movie night in! When we had some issues adjusting the air conditioning, the host was very responsive and helpful. Highly recommend!

Perfect for Our Famly

This house was amazing! We especially loved the open vintage Victorian feel of the home. All rooms were exactly like described in the listing with plenty of towels, blankets, soaps etc. Also, Very Very Clean. The kitchen was very nicely stocked for any type of cooking your desire, lots of pots, pans, coffee maker - loved the espresso machine. Nicely furnished soaps, paper towels, toilet paper & laundry area, Bathrooms & Bedrooms were beautiful, tons of room. Our Host was very easy to get ahold of and communicating was easy & great. WE LOVED THIS PLACE - Thank you Deirdre for an amazing stay in your home. We will definitely book again someday when we return to Woodstock.

We had a large family gathering at a different Vrbo that didn’t work out so we had to scramble looking for another one and Deirdre came to the rescue! The house and location couldn’t have been any better for the kids! The house is so charming with antique touches and modern updates. Would highly recommend!!!
