*Note: This is a gorgeous property, and I get numerous requests for holding events here such as weddings, family reunions, etc., however, we are in a neighborhood and must be respectful of our neighbors, so the city will not allow events. Small gatherings are OK as well as photo shoots with pre-approval. If you are wondering if your idea or gathering is considered an "event" please ask, it is possible that we can work something out.
*Please note that this property is not recommended for elderly/handicapped folks who have difficulty walking as there are stairs to access the property and yard.

Fantastic location and property! It had everything we needed and more. We used the fire pit, the hot tub and the SUP and Kayaks. We would definitely come again. The only thing I was unaware of was that was the downstairs portion of the owner's house. I thought I had filtered for whole house. But the owner was lovely and helpful.

The property is beautiful!! The view and backyard alone is worth the stay. We were able to have a great wedding weekend and the house was very accessible/amenable to even have grandparents join us to help babysit a toddler and a baby for the actual wedding evening. Also, we were able to walk to a playground and nature trails just down the street. It was an easy drive to downtown.

Disliked: Listing accuracy
The property ended up being fine but my initial disappointment was due to the property being a bottom level of the house with occupants in the upper level. There are 3 pictures of the house on the property listing, & it's clear there are 2 levels. The listing included the words "...property is all yours, not shared with anyone". So I believed the entire house was what we were getting. That's not true-the entire floor above is occupied. That being said, we never heard noise from above nor were we bothered by anyone. I wish the details of the listing was more clear.

Response from VrboOwner on 24 October 2025
Thank you for your feedback Cindy, I’m glad that you enjoyed your stay and were not ever disturbed by anyone. VRBO does consider any split home (or “duplex” style) as “All Yours” because the portion that you rented IS “All Yours”. You have your own entrance, your own kitchen, your own bathrooms not shared with anyone at all, plus you have your own deck and full reign of the entire yard and hot tub, not shared with anyone at all. Therefore, it is accurate in stating that it is “All Yours” even though there is some square footage of the home that you do not have access to and is not included in your rental agreement.
